The latest G20 summit is taking place in London today but it has not been a smooth ride so far. Protesters broke the windows of banks lining the street while accusing world leaders of implementing policies that further enrich the wealthy and abandon the poor. Many of these protesters are in police custody this morning for their part in the protests that started a few days ago.
The protesters are marching in support of having a more transparent and democratic financial rescue plan that will counteract the effects of the global recession most countries are a part of. Their greatest concern is job creation, Britain and the US have slashed millions of jobs since the crisis began leaving many families with no income and no way to cover their monthly expenses.
Topics on the summits agenda are finding ways to aid business and households recover financially and how to prevent one economy’s tough times from affecting the rest of the world again. Hopefully we see some positive results that will assist not only business but also the man on the street.
