G20 Economic Summit Changes Nothing

The conference did not address the real causes of why the world is heading into a global recession or why the U.S. economy in particular is in such dire straits. Nor will the meeting result in redress of the staggering level of bankers' criminality abetted by the U.S. government in the creation of the financial bubbles whose collapse is underway.

The real problem is that the world is locked into a debt-based financial system run by the world's banks, where the only way currency can be entered into circulation is through lending. It's been massive amounts of completely irresponsible lending which have leveraged the bubbles against much smaller amounts of tangible value.
