Lagarde Relives Own Past as She Seeks More Women at IMF. Christine Lagarde’s memory of an interview with a law firm in France at the start of her career still stings after three decades.
Lagarde says she was told she would never become a partner because of her gender. “I said, ’Is that the case? Thank you very much.’ I turned around, left and never went back to that firm,” she told students graduating from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government last year. Now the first female managing director of the International Monetary Fund, Lagarde is in a position to offer women more appealing career prospects at the 188-member global organization, which lends to countries in crisis. By the fund’s own account, it has some catching up to do: Women at the Washington-based IMF hold about 21 percent of management jobs, less than at any peer institution including the World Bank and the European Commission.

Accra is a city of choking red dust where almost no rain falls for three months at a time and clothes hung out on a line dry in 15 minutes.
So the new five-star Mövenpick hotel affords a haven of sorts in Ghana's crowded capital, with manicured lawns, amply watered vegetation, and uniformed waiters gliding poolside on roller skates to offer icy drinks to guests. A high concrete wall rings the grounds, keeping out the city's overflowing poor who hawk goods in the street by day and the homeless who lie on the sidewalks by night. The Mövenpick, which opened in 2011, fits the model of a modern international luxury hotel, with 260 rooms, seven floors, and 13,500 square feet of retail space displaying $2,000 Italian handbags and other wares.

To those interested in pursuing careers in finance – or related careers in insurance, accounting, auditing, law, or corporate management – I submit the following address: Why don't policymakers ever admit they were wrong. A couple of weeks ago, psychiatrist Robert Spitzer made the news by writing a short but sincere apology to the gay community for his earlier support of "reparative therapy" intended to "cure" homosexuality.
He now regards the 2003 experiments that seemed to show success for this "treatment" were irredeemably flawed, and he regrets any role he might have played in reinforcing anti-gay stereotypes. Good for him. 4 Politically Controversial Issues Where All Economists Agree - Megan McArdle - Business. Adam Ozimek -- blogger at Modeled Behavior and associate at Econsult Corporation In reading the sometimes polarized debate in the economics blogosphere, the discipline often appears to suffer from an excess of disagreement and uncertainty. But this is more about the incentives economists face when writing and speaking in the public sphere than the actual state of knowledge in the field. In reality economists agree about a lot of things, and in many cases they do so with a high degree of certainty. "Occupy the Classroom?" by Dani Rodrik.
