If Women Ruled the World

With the current economic crisis, people are looking to place blame. Who was steering this ship? The answer is mostly men. Some people are starting to think we need more women in the mix. I first found this story on Good Morning America, but it's showing up in many other places. This study from the University of Cambridge is fueling the debate. It seems that there is a correlation between testosterone level and how much risk a man takes. Men tend to make high-risk bets under pressure especially when they're in a room full of men in the same predicament. The consensus seems to say a mixed group is better than homogeneous. If women ruled the world, would we end up with the same problems? And what would that world look like?
