Well, another recommendation by Professor Zarembka. Flassbeck: "Costas and me, we described in our book the conditions of getting out. But this is an academic treaty, and it's not a political strategy, so to say.
First of all what you need is you need to convince the majority of the people of Greece that getting out is the only way to restart the normal life. Which may be the case, but you have to convince the people. And Greek people still want to stay inside the Euro and inside Europe, in particular. Then--but even if you would convince them and you would have a political majority for that, then it's still a difficult operation because you need the assistance of the of the other countries in Europe, and you need again the assistance of the Troika. [...] You need a controlled exit." That speaks for itself. No substantiation required. Meanwhile, in the agora of Athens Flassbeck keeps the megaphone and Lapavitsas, member of the Hellenic Parliament, trys to convince a stubborn people to empty the hemlock with the Troika's poison. Socrates died a happier death. His last words to Crito: "Crito, we owe a rooster to Asclepius. Please, don't forget to pay the debt." -- Re F&L cf. http://progressive-economics-pen.1065355.n5.nabble.com/Re-9-A-new-economic-reform-effort-in-Greece-and-Europe-td37258.html Paul Zarembka <[email protected]> wrote: > > Interview with Heiner Flassbeck (co-author with Costas Lapavitsas): > > > http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=14182 > <http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=14182> > > Also, "New Greek Finance Minister a Change in Style, Not Substance", an > interview with Dimitri Lascaris: > > > http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=14183 > <http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=14183> > > Into the interview, he explains why nationalization of bank is on the table > (see my posting yesterday of Lapavitsas' interview). > > Paul Zarembka > > > ==== Research in Political Economy > <http://www.emeraldinsight.com/books.htm?issn=0161-7230> (since 1977) | > Editor's webpage <http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/%7Ezarembka> > Sraffa and Althusser Reconsidered; Neoliberalism Advancing (2014) > Contradictions: Finance, Greed, and Labor Unequally Paid (2013) > Revitalizing Marxist Theory for Today's Capitalism (2011) with R.
