Unions are the first guilty of this crisis, For years they imposed higher wages & conditions resulting in bankruptcy.

@alfaceandrice sure we can

But the latter will NOT happen when people can buy less and less. this will lead to unemployment and an increase in demand for public payments to the unemployed. Capitalism has 'healthy forces' within it such as the fact that public consumption can lead to recovery b/c it pours money bacvk into the economy and feeds the zillion of small bussinesses that constitute 60% of non-governmental economy in Greece. These forces are being extremely suppressed under the current plan

[ellin40]

The economic measures that have been passed by the Greek gov are straight out of IMF's neo-conservative ideological arsenal and they will NOT help recovery. Many economists are of the opinion that the most important element in recovery is to maintain the public's buying power. The issue is NOT whether Greece will be able to pay back the loan; this can happen under healthy economic recovery
