By Warren Olney • • 1 min readLeaders of the world's largest economies are proclaiming success for their G-20 summit, promising concerted action against the global recession. The US and Britain say they got what they wanted. Sarkozy of France says it's “more than we could have hoped for.” Germany's Merkel calls it “almost historic.” We hear what's been accomplished, and what's been left out.
