Sri Mulyani Indrawati from Indonesia must suggest a model she can sell at the World Bank to America, Europe,and the BRIC nations to rescue the global economy and spread democracy and economic democracy around the world.

She opposes corruption. Good

She opposes poverty, pollution and tyranny.

She likes the rule of law. This means she would protect human rights.

She opposes religious rules that would make democracy impossible.

She sees development as demanding very complex solutions.

The World Bank has been alive for 65 years. It has learned a lot -- but now faces scarcity on account of too high a population.

The G20 may put food first. Trade is part of the answer.

We must increase SUPPLY of food. But also we must meet higher supply with demand at the right price.

Water is a big problem

We need a new President of the World Bank.

External factors have made us more hungry than last year.

We cannot be complacent. Even developed nations like Japan and America, need to pull up their socks.

Corruption. Corruption Corruption.

Do we now have a prophet to put in charge? Or not?

Dr. Sri Mulyani Indrawati has given an important message for America that ‘the let it be collapse of the Giant Lehman was a real blunder by the US Government which affected not only the Indonesian economic turmoil but it has been continuously damaging the economy in highly developed countries in Europe and USA.

As part of the emerging market countries, Indonesia has learned a great lesson from the economic crisis by “integrated the management systems to fight against corruption without merely speculation and screaming each others like in Wall Street and in D.C. more over likely just for the sake of one particular interest group like the TEA Party; and then, how can America solve its fiscal policy and huge debt ceiling problems?”. It could have solved the problems properly with only between the two political parties in America than more than five political parties in Indonesia. America.. it is time to be really integrated to solve the critical problems without just for a one-sided interest group which is seemingly heading for racial political problem and shameful for the world leaders.

Ms Indrawati is not only intelligent but was forthright, open,informative and honest. Her main concern as reflected by her continual return to the subject is the matter of corruption, the loss of dignity that stems from it and the drag it places on the development and or maintenance of a nations economy and political life.

The most telling question Mr Rose asked in ones opinion was about how America is viewed by the world? Her answer was affirming of ones view that the world is watching and waiting for America to deal responsibly with its deficit, debt and corresponding economic issues. That if America is unable to do so it will lose the confidence of the world as a leader, mostly likely with dire consequences. Further she said that what she and Indonesia have learned from the debt crisis of 08 is that even when one becomes developed, successful and wealthy a nation can not let their guard down and think that there is no consequences for their actions. Thus the inference is that she and the Indonesians have learned from Americas bad example.

Thank You Mr Rose for asking that question,it just might help make Americans aware of the fact that they are at risk of losing everything that they hold dear.

Glad to hear she stood up to corruption especially where it was so blatant and obvious.

Perhaps we will hear that this 'World Bank of Knowledge' is ending kleptocracies rather than keeping them going for political reasons.

Perhaps this "World Bank of Knowledge" can view "The Inside Job" and help end this type of kleptocracy too.

Both would go a very long way in helping the poor.

The World Bank seems to be in pretty good hands. The other day I heard Prince Hassan of Jordan remark the Middle East and other emerging countries suffer from a "dignity deficit." I thought it was a good expression, as also his observation that oil and democracy don't mix.
