In April, leaders from the G20 countries that represent 85% of the global economy meet to
develop a coordinated response to the worldwide economic and financial collapse. What
actions can G20 leaders take to stem the tsunami washing over the world economy? How will
these leaders find common solutions to this international disaster? Join our distinguished panel
of UC Berkeley economists to understand these questions and identify answers.
