This offers an unprecedented opportunity to make development work. There is a need for effective and impartial legal and justice systems, with protection of and positive support for rights and freedoms of various kinds, a well-organized and supervised financial system, effective social safety nets, and essential social programs. 2017-02-24T18:15:14Z 2017-02-24T18:15:14Z 1999-05-05 Opinion Editorial http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/11/25256288/development-coin-two-sides-james-d-wolfensohn-president http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26170 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank International Herald Tribue Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Journal Article
