Richard Jolly

Chapter 13 in The UN and the Bretton Woods Institutions, 1995, pp 185-195 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When Toynbee wrote these lines in about 1947, the world was still a world of empires, wide gaps between developed and what were then called ‘under-developed countries’, school-enrolment ratios were mostly low, smallpox was endemic and infant mortality rates were three times present levels. Few developing countries had experienced sustained and rapid economic development, or the impressive advance in basic human indicators we have seen over the postwar decades.
