"Perhaps the biggest question [for the G-20 in finding a solution to the financial crisis] is whether the rest of the world is prepared to accept a Made-in-the-USA deal . . . Politically, the most palatable deal could be one that has a Made-in-Asia label. What better proof that the U.S. is ready to stop preaching and work in partnership with others to build a more sustainable and harmonious world?"
