Good overview of issues to be discussed at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. This story provides a factual report with useful context about different perspectives from the various participating nations. Also helpful are the related sidebars about the G-20 and points of contention.

Straight forward news story effectively summarizing the major point of the G-20 meeting as well as the differences in the agendas various nations bring to the table. Two caveats: 1) past such meetings have been long on rhetoric, short on action; 2) although the world’s economies seem headed upward, to label the direction “recovery” is premature (which the article takes pains to avoid.)

The article offers a brief overview of topics set to be discussed by G-20 members. It mentions the issues of regulation(s) of the financial system, the future face of IMF and World Bank, and the problem of global imbalances. Obviously, the countries involved will articulate different (and even opposed) interests.
