Hyperbole

" he breathed new life into the world’s most influential international economic institution."

The first part of the sentence extract above is unsourced and subjective; the second half is unsourced hyperbole, presumably also written by a fan (and/or from the gent's CV?) - Corroboration neeeded. As it stands, it smacks of hagiography. OECD is a government-funded think-tank, last time I checked. 'world's most influential' ??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.205.25 (talk) 00:34, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
