The G20 has saved us, but it's failing to rein in those who caused the crisis

It must rank as one of the least fair deals in economic history. Over the last 12 months, western governments have taken unprecedented and extraordinary action to avoid what undoubtedly would have been a global slump. The good news is that they have succeeded. The bad news is that what caused the crisis - the stranglehold of a new financial oligarchy upon public policy - has hardly been touched. And not only is this grossly unfair, but unless there is change, a second and more serious crisis potentially awaits.
