September and October are multilateralism’s festive season. For those who like decoding lengthy speeches, there’s the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting; for those who want to determine where the world is actually going, there’s the G20 meeting; and for those who would prefer to understand if those ambitions are at all achievable, there’s the annual meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
