In order to address the financial crisis now blanketing the planet, world leaders will converge on Washington this November 15th for a number of meetings aimed at devising a unilateral global response, as well as divining the root causes of the crisis itself. Political and economic leaders from Japan, the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada, China, Brazil, India, Russia, South Korea, and the U.S. will be in attendance. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed the belief that a global summit was just what the doctor ordered, stating: “I am hopeful that the meeting will not only address the immediate crisis facing the global economy but will begin to make the international financial system stronger and more secure.” The White House has made it clear that the winner of the upcoming presidential election will also be asked to play a role in the summits.
