Looks like no one replied, probably because not too many know what the world bank actually does. I don't recall it in my civics classes. As far as I know, it gives loans to third world countries for various types of development. But where it gets its money and who controls is is the stuff of one-world conspiracy theories. And Wolfie is the quintessential pick as far as one-worlders go, boisters all their theories.I suppose I could look it up on the web but I've got too many other things to look up.

Thanks Rennes: Found a Wall Street Journal this AM.There is something on the editorial page favoring Wolfowitz but not really telling us what the Bank does or where it gets its funds. If I were a betting man (adding to my cynicism) I would guess the "Bank's" job was to bribe petty third world tyrants into having some respect for the rule of law
and property rights so that some progress can be made without resorting to the sword. As for the source of their cash....let me guess.
