The OECD: more than just a think tank
Misleading portrayals of the OECD understate the importance of this leading international organisation Compared with the attention lavished on annual meetings of the IMF, World Bank and WTO, those of the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) normally pass with minimal comment.
