She knows what she wants from her career, and it has largely worked for her—until one day, three years ago, when she decided she wanted to join a corporate board of directors….
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. Having slogged through several years of research on the many and complex causes of the financial crisis, I take it personally when people try to rewrite history and ignore what actually drove the events that led to the collapse.
