When Women are in Charge, 52 minutes, 2009 (Ref: 760) |

What would have
happened if Lehman Brothers had been Lehman
Sisters?" Would the American investment company have
gone under in the same way? If women had been in
charge, would they have made the same mistakes?
There is, obviously, no answer to this question, but
the irony underlying it is present in the minds of
some women in positions of power. It reflects their
disgruntlement with how business, politics and the
world in general are being run according to what
they consider to be “male values.” The program
begins in Iceland, a country hit hard by the
economic crisis, where women are filling positions
left vacant in the wake of the economic collapse.
Other women adding their voices to this report
include Elena Salgado, Spanish Minister of Economy
and Finance; Christine Lagarde, French Minister of
Economy and Noelia Fernández Arroyo, of Yahoo
Europe.
