A negotiated exit would result, among other things, in the establishment of a floor under the drachma by the ECB in cooperation with the Greek banks. The European states, central bank, and private owners want their loans repaid; they’re not interested in the permanent impoverishment of the Greeks as an end in itself. In any event, you think the hospitals are in good shape now? You’re so certain the Greeks have much more to lose outside the eurozone? More knowledgable and sophisticated observers of the Greek situation both outside and inside Syriza like Costas Lapavitsas, who are not as wedded to Greece staying inside the eurozone at all costs as you are, would disagree with you. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
