BBC World Debate: Global Economic Shocks: Perfect Storm Ahead?
As the global outlook shifts from uncertainty towards vulnerability, how many more "body blows" can the world economy take? Is a "perfect storm" looming?
In partnership with the World Economic Forum, the BBC World Debate explores the vulnerability of the global economy in 2008, from the perspective of both developed and developing nations.
What will the consequences be if: Oil and commodity prices keep rising? New financial market shock hits the US and the dollar keeps falling? Dramatic corrections burst the bubbles in emerging markets? The economic centre of gravity continues to shift eastwards?

Interesting video but I was surprised to see the entire panel ignore the fact that all of the statements on growth assume a constant supply of cheap oil.
This is proof that even at the highest levels of leadership there are very little understanding of what peak oil means.

The largest impediment to global economic growth is our collective dependence on finite fossil fuels. I made a video which I advocated that governments give tax incentives for people to implement technology which would reduce the demand for oil.
