Road to Recovery? (15:35-16:35)

The financial meltdown of 2008 led many to proclaim that the system is changing, but now that we’re emerging out of the recession, we’re returning to our old ways .

- Have the drastic changes in the system that people predicted a year ago come to fruition, or has the system sustained itself?

- What should be the foundations of a new, sustainable financial system?

- Will 2010 be a year when the financial crisis intensifies or abates?

- How much of the crisis was driven by panic in the minds of people?

- What is the role that the G20 is playing in driving reform?
