Who won the recession?

Vanity Fair has released their 2009 list of the “top 100 Information Age powers”…Goldman’s Lloyd Blankfein, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and the Google triumvirate make up the top five. Only 12 women made the list, most of them coupled with a man. A similar list from Business Insider has a better name: The 25 Who Won the Recession. I thought this recession business was supposed to kill the influence of the financial sector…funny how that never happens.
