Assisting economies in transition: 1947
“Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist”
George Marshall, Secretary of State. Harvard, 1947

Beginnings of the OECD

“the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development will become one of the principal institutions through which we pursue the great aim of consolidating the Atlantic Community.”
John F. Kennedy,US President, 1961

“Perhaps one of the most important lessons learned so far is that […] we needed stronger institutional transformations.
Creating democratic institutions and governance, new social norms and values, stronger civil societies, openness to private organisations and entrepreneurship, and a network of regulators is related to this partial reform.
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria, 2009
