WORLD BANK PRESIDENT TESTIMONIAL ANNUAL ADDRESSES SPEECHES TRIBUTE MOTIVATION LEADERSHIP LEGACY MCNAMARA'S BANK DEVELOPMENT HISTORY This retrospective on the terms of World Bank President Robert S. McNamara (1968–81) examines his words, actions, and results through the lens of the authors, his six successive personal assistants. They delve into his annual meeting speeches and policy addresses, deconstructing the motivations and actions behind the words. The authors give personal insight into McNamara as president, along with his relations with World Bank staff and world leaders. McNamara’s interactions with a multiplicity of borrowing countries, including China, are highlighted. The sectoral impact of McNamara’s presidency is described in some depth and in relation to current events, including the 1970s’ oil crisis. The conclusion contains a look at the legacy of McNamara, the lasting impact of “McNamara’s Bank,” and a final personal tribute to McNamara. 2021-07-01T21:23:08Z 2021-07-01T21:23:08Z 2021-07-01 Book http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/968851625167222961/Robert-S-McNamara-at-the-World-Bank-in-Retrospect http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35898 English Development Reflections; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: President's Speech
