Thats the question:Invest in what? The biggest ROI might not be most beneficial for society. Actually if we believe in former world bank president, usually the crappiest projects get green light.

I gather the World Bank was (is?) captive of a very centrist overall policy, and have always tended to support projects that coincidentally are easy for the local kleptocracy to rip off. It arguably has done some good, here and there, but is likely responsible for the survival of some pretty toxic regimes, too.
