Russia To Push For Gold Standard

You have the US and the UK, with their insolvent banking systems, hoping that world leaders will adopt a massive, global spending scheme to jolt GDP back.

On the other side you have Continental Europe, which is showing surprising restraint, arguing (quite logically) that more borrowing isn't the answer to a debt crisis.
