| Summary: |
As the tensions in the Greek economy take centre stage in the international headlines, this book examines the working of the Greek political system and the way it relates with the Greek society. It investigates how and why Greece is just the first, prototype country of the fall of the western debt party. 'A wide-ranging, thorough and fascinating account of the economic challenges facing Greece.' - James K Galbraith, University of Texas, USA 'This book is the first focused attempt to bring the whole story of Greece's economy in the public domain. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the last 15 years and a first-class and very timely analysis for those wishing to know the economic and institutional pathologies that led the Greek economy to the tragic free fall. It is actually a required reading for all those wishing to know what has actually gone wrong in the Greek Economy.' - Philip Arestis, University of Cambridge, UK 'An extremely timely book as it demonstrates convincingly that the pathologies of the Greek economy have broader political implications.' - Christos P. Ioannides, Queens College, USA 'This is Freakonomics meets the Greek crisis. It is an original, penetrating and broad analysis of the problems of the Greek system. The diagnosis is compelling. The solutions are provocative. It is a timely leap forward in the debate on the future.' - Kevin Featherstone, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK 'A scathing account of Greece's economic implosion.' - New York Times. |
