BBC World Debate: Global Economic Shocks: Perfect Storm Ahead?
As the global outlook shifts from uncertainty towards vulnerability, how many more “body blows” can the world economy take? Is a “perfect storm” looming?
In partnership with the World Economic Forum, the BBC World Debate explores the vulnerability of the global economy in 2008, from the perspective of both developed and developing nations.
What will the consequences be if: Oil and commodity prices keep rising? New financial market shock hits the US and the dollar keeps falling? Dramatic corrections burst the bubbles in emerging markets? The economic centre of gravity continues to shift eastwards?

Economics Journalist Robert Kuttner on the “Most Serious Financial Crisis Since the Great Depression”: “This is the Result of Rightwing Ideology and the Political Power of Wall Street”
Amid growing fears of a worldwide recession, the Federal Reserve slashed a key interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point on Tuesday, the biggest single cut in nearly a quarter of a century. Meanwhile, President Bush and congressional leaders pledged to work together on a stimulus measure that would inject about $150 billion in additional money into the economy. But many economists are skeptical over whether any measures can turn around a severe slump in the housing market and the subprime mortgage crisis, signs of growing unemployment and weakening consumer spending and the added blow of record high oil prices. We speak to veteran economics journalist Robert Kuttner and Robert Weissman, co-director of the corporate accountability group Essential Action and editor of Multinational Monitor magazine.

Watch this video of a Democratic Senator wiping the proverbial Wall Street floor with a couple of CNBC analysts. Will even you GOP diehards agree with his stance? I think it makes plenty of sense.

Hey Gutter Ball: You need to talk to your GOP friends, they are the ones who came out last fall with all of this bailout or doom crap. Bush did his best to scare us all to death, and it worked. Froze up the markets and banks lickety split.
R.IP. USA : Then what you are saying is that you agree that the very people who screwed up AIG and nearly caused the collapse of America's financial system deserve to be rewarded. How sad is that, that you wouldn't even consider your words before slinging them out there like so much garbage to the curb. If you don't love this country, then perhaps you should find one that you do care about.
i will never agree with a liberal on ANYTHING! i would never feel clean again.
