More women in finance, a more sustainable economy

Submitted by afiorino on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 2:01pm

As has been pointed out with increasing frequency, a certain group think has been widely blamed for the economic crisis we find ourselves in today. Studies indicate that women are more comprehensive thinkers and less attracted to excessive risk than are their male peers.
