Thanks Brooks, I think you're right - the thing started off as the G5, didn't it, i.e., without Canada and Italy. So the Europeans and Americans added one on each side, so to speak, it was political rather than economic, as evidenced also, actually, by the brief transformation of the G7 into the G8 with the admission of Russia, an admission which wasn't on economic grounds (Russia had/has an economy about the size of Spain's) but purely political, for which reason Russia was kicked out again after a couple of years.
