Εξαιρετική ομιλία. Είναι μια διάσταση (ουσιαστική κατά την γνώμη μου) της κρίσης η οποία δυστυχώς δεν συζητιέται στα μίντια.

Πολυ καλο. Οικονομολογια χωρις ανθρωπολογια και κοινωνιολογια δεν γινεται...

Σχολιο για την τελευταια φραση: ο στριμωγμενος στη γωνια δεν θα σεβαστει. Εκτος απο την ακαλλιεργεια της αμοιβαιοτητας, πρεπει να εκλειψει η ακραια ανισοτητα. Γιατι ο στριμωγμενος δεν θα βαλει πανω το σεβασμο, ακομη και αν τον διδαχθηκε. Αυτος ο καπιταλισμος πρεπει να παψει να δημιυοργει απελπισμενους, αλλιως δεν μας κανει...

This talk is identifying the most fundamental social issues in Greece that have historically plagued the mindset of its people and inadvertedly led to the current crisis. My only hope as a Greek is that people like Elias and people who share his beliefs are enabled to bring about the change this country so badly needs. I like how he closes his talk, it all starts with education and that's where the focus should lie.

@rapsa42100 He's just as well talking to us via this video. With holding his talk in Greek even though he would have no problem holding it in English and his educated audience shouldnt have a problem understanding an English talk, he unnecessarily limits the number of people he can reach.

And how is it an insult to overcome the language barriers that divide our lovely continent? Im proud to see that ever more people here embrace this opportunity (english) to contribute to the global community.

@bremerthefirst he is talking to greeks in geece why on earth would he give the talk in english?? to further insult his origins and copatriots? It is an insult that his slides are in english to begin with...
