Lapavitsas: "So even if Greece defaults or even if it exits the Euro, the immediate impact will not be that dramatic."
Neoliberal economists and politicians who - like Lapavitsas (now) - are indifferent to a Gexit or who - like him (up to a few weeks ago) - called for a Grexit, are more realistic: Hans-Werner Sinn: "Without a new currency there will be scenes like in Argentina when the country defaulted, where there were day-long street fighting and the shops were looted." (July 6th, 2015) Head of European parliament Schulz (acting for the whole bunch of the EU elites) says Greece faces total meltdown if it rejects creditor demands as German finance minister floats idea of temporary Greek exit from the eurozone. Schulz also says (July 6th, 2015) Brussels stands ready to help Greece in event of humanitarian crisis - neglecting the current prolonged Greek humanitarin crisis for which he and the neoliberal elites persistently declined any help during the last couple of years. A person - especially when writing as a progressive political economist - who recommends a theoretical and political position as advocated by Lapavitsas has to substantiate his or her recommendation. > > Interview with Costas Lapavitsas (two parts): > > > http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=14181 > <http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=14181> > _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
