G7 a failure

So says Bank of England governor Mervyn King. In speech in Melbourne he suggested that it should be disbanded rather than enlarged into the G8 by the inclusion of China and that its functions should be taken over by the International Monetary Fund after that institution is significantly reformed to remove the stranglehold currently enjoyed by the US and Western Europe. Curiously the story seems to be unreported in America.
