G20 Bankers of the Year: Faking It The G20 Basel III argument is simple despite the complexities of global finance. Do you continue to borrow at high levels with little equity (7%) behind it? Or do you increase your safety net of assets (15%) to minimize potential losses? Many bankers in recent years blamed ordinary consumers for the economic crisis. They accused people of not saving enough and living beyond their means. Why don't they take their own advice?

It's a WO-Man's World The success of women is still being measured by outdated 20th century standards. According to the African proverb, "Women hold up half the sky." Monika Mitchell says women do more than that; they seed and cultivate the ground we walk on.

Three thought leaders and a ground-breaking book by Ivy League educator Mary Gentile offer solutions.

The Giving Pledge: A New Social Conscience For so long, charity & wealth have been separate. Corporations sponsor events for publicity; individuals donate to see their names on institutional walls. Giving has become synonymous with power & privilege. "I give because I can," rather than "I give because I must do what I can." Helping others has been below the radar for otherwise compassionate people. Monika Mitchell discusses that changing paradigm of social conscience.
