    Did anyone else notice that are these failed executives are men?
    We sorely need to respect the theories of female financiers. There is a big gap between graduation rates and employment % by position.
    Look up "Iris Mack" for example...

    "We" the people will always be victimized by the ruthless egomaniacs that ply their trade in highly suspect, and plain criminal dealings. Corrupting the entire monetary/investment system is just a beginning.
    While it is clear that many newly appointed officials are crooks, and have had a hand in most dealings with banks and wall street, they still remain in office, with impunity. If we can no longer oust them, we have lost a basic right.

    I am from India. I wish the Obama administration to go through the article 'An Unfine Balance' written and contributed by Ravi Rauniyar of Harvard Business School to the 34th ISC- Symposium at the University of St, Gallen / Switzerland , May 13-15 ,2004. It may help President Obama in giving good shape to his social, political and economic philosophy as President of USA. Mr Ravi Rauniyar , after having done his MBA from Harvard Business School , is working in America.
