Gordon Brown hails the dawn of a new consensus, but France calls it a confrontation between "two worlds".
On one side, Britain and America are pushing for another huge injection of fiscal spending. On the other, France and Germany are leading demands for far tougher regulation.
So what would it take to bring the world's economies back into balance?

Fixing a broken economy

As world leaders gather to solve the global economy crisis Channel 4 News reports from G20 on whether the city blamed for causing the crash can fix it.
World leaders seeking a Big Fix for the global recession meeting this week are just a champagne cork's pop away from the City of London.
More than any other financial centre, the City flourished during the boom. Now those "white, blue eyed people" are seen as a cause of the crash and not just by the Brazilian president.
But amidst the squabbles and pre-summit positioning, two clear objectives are apparent.
Fix Number One: to cooperate to revive the world's economies, with or without a further commitment to spend more public money.
Fix Number Two: to identify the failures in the global financial and economic system that caused the crash, and mend them.
But as Gordon Brown insists we are in this together can London rise to the challenge and solve the crisis?

Betting on 'casino capitalism'

Is funding a deregulated system the real reason behind the global crash? Channel 4 news looks at whether the financial gamble is the real recession villain.
Britain may have Sir Fred Goodwin to demonise but for much of the world "casino capitalism'" is to blame.
The financial system where gambling on large bets took over the job of markets allocating money to productive parts of the economy is at the centre of the global recession blame game.
Is there a consensus on the part this system played in the crash and can world leaders agree a plan to fix it?

Pressure on Swiss banks

Switzerland will come under more pressure to allow other countries to see its banking records, with the issue high on the agenda at the G20 summit next week.
Several countries have pushed for the Swiss to be added to a blacklist, or even threatened with sanctions, forcing Switzerland to make some concessions.
But with a financial economy built on discretion, it's fighting attempts to make it go further.

The Chancellor Alistair Darling has warned the problems of the international economy will not "get sorted in one day" at the G20 summit this week.
As world leaders head to London, he accepted there would be no announcement of a new stimulus package, in other words new coordinated tax cuts and spending.

Fears of direct action at the G20

As world leaders gather in London for the G20 summit next week, Jonathan Rugman asks: will public anger be translated into direct action?
The anti-globalisation movement is convinced that its time has come again.
While we may not all want to break the windows of famous bankers, it is surely true that there is a widespread sense of anger among the public about the conduct of banks and even the economic system itself.
It is a decade since anti-globalisation protests made headlines in Seattle, but their agenda was eclipsed by fears over terrorism in the wake of 9/11.

G20 ready to do 'what is necessary'

The world's leading finance ministers agree to drag the global economy out of recession, but real differences remain between Europe and the US.
"The 20 largest economies in the world stand ready to do whatever is necessary for as long as is necessary," agreed the worlds leading finance ministers and central bank governors who met in Sussex today.
But the pledges of agreement to drag the world economy out of recession mask real differences between America and Europe over whether governments need to spend even more than already committed on stimulating their economies.
