World Bank Concern

BBC: World Bank president: 'One shock away from crisis'

Robert Zoellick cited rising food prices as the main threat to poor nations who risk "losing a generation"....

IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn raised particular concerns about high levels of unemployment among young people....

"Especially because of youth unemployment... there is now a risk that this will be turned into a life sentence, and that there is a possibility of a lost generation," he said.

Hmm. Rising food prices and no income. Sounds like a powder keg to me.
