At the moment it seems that it is given as a gift to the cronies of the rich and powerful. Surely in order to attract the best talents, it should be a competitive process. Further, do you think Mr P. Wolfowitz is the right man to lead the World Bank's fight against corruption? Or will it have the effect of allowing crooked presidents and leaders to laugh, 'Sha ha ha ha!' all the way to the bank?

The major contributor to the World Bank is the USA, so not surprisingly it is in the gift of the President to select the leader. It goes without saying that the Bank is used Politically to help friends and punish enemies of the USA.....In which case you need someone who is close to the President..if you didn't, then God Forbid you get someone who is independant. It just shows how devious, and hypocritical many leaders are.....As the saying goes to his girlfriend, 'What attracted you to the Powerful, Rich, Mr Wolfowitz?'

World bank is dominated by a few countries especially the Veto Power nations headed by US.Advertising for world bank chief/open selection is against interests of USA.
