The failing Greek economy has been a tragedy played out on
the world stage for what seems like forever. Europe’s moustached loafers, once the
envy of all hard-working northern Europeans and the subject of many an
incredulous holiday-maker’s anecdote became the lazy, feckless swine who were
endangering the stability of the noble Euro. Then as they began to protest
against the austerity imposed for their own good by the wise Troika, they
became the petulant children who were obviously never mature enough to have
economic sovereignty in the first place.
Now the Eurozone is finally starting to show signs of growth
and the Greek economy’s contraction is slowing despite the austerity, It is time for another renaissance because
it’s occurred to me that Greece had it right all along.
