Currency wars! This week we look at the growing conflict over currencies. In recent weeks the world economy has been on a war footing, at least rhetorically. Gone is the fuzzy talk about co-operation to boost global growth. Suddenly accusations are flying that countries around the world are cheating, using everything from qualitative easing to capital controls.
