“The only reason that financial literacy empowerment — of the poor, the under-served, middle class and future entrepreneurs –is not the most important thing happening at this Spring Meeting of the World Bank, is because ‘the urgent is now crowding out the important’ in the world. This will pass, and when it does, financial literacy will become every country’s new civil rights issue, and the world’s first silver rights empowerment tool.”
