In journalism, editors sometimes refer to this story is as dbi, dole that important. In the papers the world bank is right up there in the top five dbi topics. Whats sebastian has done is discovered there there is a wol character at the center of the world bank and made it quite easy to read the books. I recommend it to all of you and its not just because i happened to be sitting here. Sebastian has been a columnist since 1999 and spent 13 years on the staff of the economist in zimbabwe and london, japan and in washington.
