International lending banks need to focus on areas where private investment doesn't go, such as infrastructure projects, education and poverty relief. Joseph Stiglitz
...decisions were often made because of ideology and politics. As a result many wrong-headed actions were taken, ones that did not solve the problem at hand but that fit with the interests or beliefs of the people in power. Joseph Stiglitz
