My Take
What strikes me about David Malpass is the quiet trajectory from Petoskey, Michigan, to the presidency of the World Bank. I find people like him fascinating precisely because they operate far from the spotlight, wrestling with abstract but enormous questions about how capital should flow to developing nations. His tenure was politically divisive, and I won't pretend otherwise, but the willingness to stake out a clear position on something so consequential takes real conviction. I respect economists who build their worldview deliberately rather than chasing applause, and Malpass reads to me as exactly that kind of stubborn, principled technocrat.
