The G20 met last week to discuss global economic plans. To find out what their decisions would mean to the Left, Sasha Lilley speaks to Leo Panitch, a political science professor at York University and editor of the Socialist Register.

Sasha Lilley: This past Wednesday, before the start of the G20 Summit in London, France and Germany asked for more regulation as a response to the unraveling of the financial system. Meanwhile the U.S. has stated it would like to a see a co-ordinated global stimulus plan without such regulation. How do you see these divisions within the most powerful nations of the Group of 20?
