刘延东入选全球经济10大最具影响力的女性

南希•佩洛西

美国众议院少数党领袖

    来自美国加州的议员佩洛西似乎并不适合列在这份名单上，因为她代表的只不过是加州第八区的选民。不过，在已经开启的财政危机的磋商中，佩洛西扮演了关键角色。据报道，在去年众议院发言人约翰•博纳与总统奥巴马举步维艰的债务上限谈判中，她是场上唯一的女性。当然还有医疗政策，这可是美国经济中极为可观的组成部分。佩洛西为促成奥巴马政府医改计划的通过发挥了关键作用。该计划的通过很可能成为美国经济史上的关键契机。

Nancy Pelosi

House minority leader, U.S.

    The congresswoman from California may not seem like a natural choice for this list, given that her job description is representing the Golden State's 8th district. But Pelosi is playing a key role in the unfolding negotiations about the looming fiscal cliff. According to reports, she was the only woman in the room during last year's ill-fated debt-ceiling negotiations between her counterpart House Speaker John Boehner and President Obama. And don't forget health care, which accounts for a huge chunk of the U.S. economy. Pelosi played a crucial role in getting Obamacare passed -- a potentially pivotal moment in the economic history of the U.S.
