Summers famous memo

[Fellows, Jeffrey]

A reprint of the memo is also in Peter Dorman's book Markets and Mortality
(Canmbridge U. Press, 1996). Correct me if this title is wrong. Jeff

[There was some talk of this famous Larry Summers memo, now said to have
been written for Summers by Lant Pritchett, here recently. I scanned the
juicy bit for a Russian economist who wants to use it in a column, so I
thought I'd share the fruits of the effort with the list. It's from a memo
commenting on a draft of the World Bank's annual Global Economic Prospects
for the Developing Countries, and was dated December 12, 1991. Summers was
chief economist of the World Bank when Pritchett wrote this in his name. -
