Credit to Angela Merkel. Speaking to the German parliament on the eve of this week's G8 summit, she has dared to say publicly what most of us have known for a long while. The G8 can no longer be the forum in which the future direction of the world economy is set. It is time for a new body with a radically new agenda.
