Consider Adam Smith s concept of the invisible hand, which implies that a market equilibrium is efficient if perfect competition prevails and well defined property rights exist. Contrary to what many critics suppose, mainstream economists do not assume that these ideal conditions are always present.

Many of McNamara s critics assert rightly, I think that he stopped short of full understanding, that he sought to hold fast to claims of noble intentions that the record could not sustain. How noble are intentions when the facts showing their horrific results are readily at hand yet overlooked?

CAMBRIDGE Perhaps the most impressive current example of leadership based on the ability to communicate is Barack Obama, who has given three times as many interviews as George W.
