Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz headlined a panel of financial experts in the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum yesterday. He said that last weekend’s G20 summit was a welcome sight for the beleaguered global economy, even if it has yet to produce noticeable results. “It is very important that there was a G20 meeting, not G7, because the G7 [countries] are all bankrupt...
