About the Global Crisis Debate

VoxEU.org is partnering with the UK government to collect the views of economists from around the world on what we should do to fix the global economy. The analysis and proposals that appear on Vox's "Global Crisis Debate" page will feed directly into the UK's preparation for the summit of world leaders in London in April. This debate will be featured on the UK government's own web site, http://www.LondonSummit.gov.uk.
