When the global financial crisis hit in September last year, world leaders pledged not to repeat the mistakes of the 1930s and erect the sorts of barriers to world trade which helped create the Great Depression.
A year on, members of the G20 most industrialised nations have, it is claimed, broken that pledge on average every three days, while multilateral talks to free global trade remain stalled.
Now, international talks on global warming threaten to place the Doha round of multilateral trade talks firmly on the back-burner, and the multi-billion windfall for the New Zealand economy that would come from a successful conclusion of the round.
Economics Correspondent, Nigel Stirling, looks at the future of Doha and whether or not the regional deals increasingly being pursued by New Zealand can deliver the same prosperity.

Coming Up
8:12 am Sunday 19 February: Christchurch - a year after the February earthquakes
It has been a year since Christchurch was rocked by the devastating earthquake which hit the city on February 22 2011.
With thousands of homes due for demolition, the central city cordoned off, and investigations still underway into why so many people died, what do the people of Christchurch see happening in the years ahead.
Radio New Zealand's Bridget Mills and Rachel Graham find out how the earthquakes have changed the way people go about their work and home life, how businesses are coping, and how a city recovers from one of the worst natural disasters New Zealand has ever seen.
