Capitalism may be the problem.
Not markets or even free-markets but the construct of international commerce may not be compatible with greek life they should have the ability to opt out. Austerity has not been shown to work, The IMF and world bank have never fixed a country. Maybe the greeks will adopt a scandinavian model empirically that has been shown to increase most rational metrics of success. The cold war is over every where but fox news we no longer need to fear socialist bugaboos.
Rational limitations of the market and a social safety net has never ruined a country. well as long as you discount C.I.A. coups.
