Bob Zoellick, World Bank President, on Fareed Zakaria’s program
GPS, CNN, 3/14/12:
In response to Zakaria’s question as to his thoughts on overcoming
poverty, Zoellick said,
“Growth is still the best antidote for poverty, but what
we have learned over the years is that growth alone isn’t enough, so we try to
talk about inclusive growth….
What inclusive growth means to me is that you also need an
efficient social safety net so that when the vicissitudes of economies or world events strike, people at
the bottom aren’t crushed or you don’t lose a generation through improper
nutrition or education.”
Vicissitudes: a change of
circumstances or fortune, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant
