Mark Weisbrot has been arguing, for some time now, that Greece must try to emulate Argentina; that is, to default on its debts not as a bargaining strategy that yields a New Deal within the Eurozone but, rather, in the context of exiting the Eurozone altogether and going it alone. Recently, Paul Krugman has endorsed […]

Anyway, don't really feel qualified to join in your discussion. Really enjoying the rolling analysis you guys are giving though. The alternative is to follow it on politics.ie, which is just a minefield of lunatics. Even boards has its share of crazies. At least there's some sanity on here.
I have no idea why the left were so eager to adopt these guys anyway. Left / Right / Center what all Greek governments have shared for a long time is incompetence and a lack of will to tackle the corruption and lack of responsibility in Greek society. You have to remember that the Greek electorate seems confused on the issue too. They elect Syrzia to get a new deal but no seem ready to baulk at going all the way.
Ultimately I think the conversation should be about securing the most orderly exit possible. In the absence of significant social reform, it is the best long term solution for both parties imo."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

So they want a whole new programme. Without the IMF. And with a nice big writedown up front.
Great to be in a position to make such demands.
Ironically the IMF were probably their best friends among the Troika, certainly in terms of debt relief."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

They want out imo and fast!
Don't think they'll ever get involved with anything Euro related ever again.

So by excluding the IMF from their 3rd bailout, Greece are asking for only ESM funds.
Germany contributes 27% of the ESM and so has a blocking vote over any package.
You'd expect that Tsipras would have been doing a little more sucking up and a lot less Nazi references if he'd thought that through no?
Do they expect Germany's terms&conditions to be less realistic?
Make that 29%!Last edited by Emmet; 30-06-15, 15:19.
