Yet on closer inspection, the $1 trillion figure looks as wishful as the soaring words in the communique issued by the Group of 20. Some of the money has yet to be pledged, some is double-counted and some would be counted in a ''synthetic currency'' that is not actually real money. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
