2 ειναι τα "απαυγασματα" του μεγαλου αυτου αρθρου

 

The structure of the Greek economy is collectivist, but the country, in spirit, is the opposite of a collective. Its real structure is every man for himself. Into this system investors had poured hundreds of billions of dollars. And the credit boom had pushed the country over the edge, into total moral collapse.

 

Will Greece default? There’s a school of thought that says they have no choice: the very measures the government imposes to cut costs and raise revenues will cause what is left of the productive economy to flee the country. The taxes are lower in Bulgaria, the workers more pliable in Romania. But there’s a second, more interesting question: Even if it is technically possible for these people to repay their debts, live within their means, and return to good standing inside the European Union, do they have the inner resources to do it? Or have they so lost their ability to feel connected to anything outside their small worlds that they would rather just shed themselves of the obligations? On the face of it, defaulting on their debts and walking away would seem a mad act: all Greek banks would instantly go bankrupt, the country would have no ability to pay for the many necessities it imports (oil, for instance), and the country would be punished for many years in the form of much higher interest rates, if and when it was allowed to borrow again. But the place does not behave as a collective; it lacks the monks’ instincts. It behaves as a collection of atomized particles, each of which has grown accustomed to pursuing its own interest at the expense of the common good. There’s no question that the government is resolved to at least try to re-create Greek civic life. The only question is: Can such a thing, once lost, ever be re-created?

Οχι, ΔΕΝ αξίζει να το διαβάσουμε.  :)

ΒΡΙΘΕΙ ανακριβιών και θλιβερών στερεοτύπων.

... the author heads for riot-stricken Athens ...

... $1.2 trillion debt...

(Αυτά μόνο στην πρώτη παράγραφο. )

 

Αναμφίβολα, η χώρα έχει πολλά προβλήματα, μεταξύ αυτών η κρίση αξιών που λέγαμε.

 

Το στερεότυπο του μικροαπατεώνα Ελληνα είναι αλήθεια οτι υπάρχει αλλά δεν υιοθετείται καθολικά.

Κι εμείς πρώτα απ όλους ΞΕΡΟΥΜΕ ότι δεν είμαστε όλοι ετσι.

 

 

Το θέμα (όπως τα προηγούμενα 3-4 σχετικά) είναι καταδικασμένο να πιάσει τις 20 σελιδες (κλάψα) στο όριο της πολιτικής συζήτησης, κάτι που -ως γνωστόν- απαγορεύεται απο τους κανονισμούς.
