This is what we should be talking about, not the SDC travelling freakshow.
You are right, it was really entertaining, but now that there is a serisous subject we have to switch.
Yup....this is going to start a chain reaction that will have some very serious consequences.
Well, I have to admit Greece has a great spokesman there, but if the basics of life down at the lowest levels aren't changed, nothing will change. Anyway, This is an interesting, very optimistic, article on entrepreneurship in Greece from last summer:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/alisoncoleman/2014/07/25/hardly-a-tragedy-as-greek-entrepreneurship-begins-to-flourish/However, if only 10% of the endeavors are of the type with growth potential, is that enough to have an optimistic view? It seems too pitiful an effort IMO. Instead of nationalizing the ports and other big industries (such as they are), the Greek government should get rid of any and all red tape to starting a business, any business, VERY minimal taxes, and let the people do their thing, because they will once the restraints are lifted. They'll try things, fail, try again, fail sometimes, try again succeed! The people will figure it out, if the Government would just stop interfering!
But that ain't gonna happen...
Crypto currency may help, but the government will still put up a thousand walls to jump over and ways to confiscate property to keep itself alive when it seriously needs to die.
