The Pittsburgh summit of the Group of 20 leading economies concluded Friday with the issuing of a joint communiqué contrived to mask sharpening conflicts between the major powers over policies to revive the world economy and stav off another financial meltdown.
The major points of contention—between the US and Europe, the US and China, the so-called emerging economies of Asia and Latin America and the most powerful Western economies—were evaded in the summit declaration, ensuring that national and regional tensions will continue to fester in the coming weeks and months.

One year after the onset of the financial crisis and on the eve of the G20 summit this weekend, the political establishment is proclaiming imminent recovery from the greatest economic crisis since the Second World War.
“From a technical perspective, the recession is very likely over,” Ben Bernanke, US Federal Reserve Chairman, said last week. He argued that the collapse of the financial system has stabilized, bringing with it a rally in equity prices and a slowing of the rate of increase of unemployment.

New reports on unemployment, poverty and hunger released this week demonstrate that the global economic crisis is being used to effect a basic restructuring of social relations characterized by long-term high unemployment and the impoverishment of the working class.
An Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) study released Wednesday reports that by the end of 2010, 10 million jobs will likely be lost among member states, bringing to 25 million the number of jobs eliminated in the thirty-member group of industrialized nations since the economic crisis began at the end of 2007.
