What kind of person gains high praise from luminaries like Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Bill Drayton, Founder of Ashoka? Well, Wilford Welch for one.

Wilford has been examining world affairs for more than five decades. Aside from his diplomatic work in Asia, he worked internationally in economic development. He was also the publisher of a world affairs magazine that appeared in 26 countries in six different languages, as well as noted book author.

Wilford developed future planning scenarios for Citibank, Toyota, the U.S. Navy, the Korean government, and The New York Times. Furthermore, he was the leader of a research team that developed the Wealth of Nations Index using 63 variables to measure each nation’s economic, information technology, and social well-being.
