This article gives a very thorough analysis on the IMF's new candidate Christine Lagarde. The author is mostly opposite to this nomination but that isn't about the candidate herself, however we can even nose out somewhat praise on her. "A superb communicator", "a good negotiator", "an excellent manager" are a series of compliments to Lagarde. But is that all? And what is the connection between these virtues and a chairman position of one of the world's most important financial organizations? The biggest defect is her academy background, which has just been mentioned lightly by the author who even thought the female identity would be a bonus for her. Will the next leader be an sexual assaulter again?
I am not just criticizing Christine Lagarde, what I want to say is that it is really selfish and thoughtless for the Europe committees to exclude the candidates from other continents. We all know that there are a lot of talent economists from Aisa and America could handle this position, but they have no chance even their election would be more fair for the world's other places. Why should a global institution clear up the mess made by Europeans? Why didn't France and Germany consider carefully about admitting Greece and Ireland into the EU? Because they already knew who will pay for their bankruptcies.
