What’s Wrong — and Right — With Greece
Article: 20 July 2011 - The Nation. When you stroll around Athens or many other parts of Greece, you see gangs of feral yet endearing cats living off people’s handouts, apparently never wondering what would happen if their lifeline was suddenly cut off.

Getting it Wrong
Article: 19 August 2010 - Truthdig. Why have economists been so wrong so often? Certainly theirs is a tough job, since the global economy is a complex creature. Yet it turns out that their measuring sticks are woefully inadequate. Indeed, they aren’t even sure what to measure.
The Silver Lining of the Greek Debt Crisis
Posted: 7 April 2010 - Huffington Post. Every news outlet from the New York Times to National Public Radio has joined the chorus of gloom and doom. But, while the amount of a Greek bailout would be relatively small -- far less than that for AIG or Citigroup -- Greece's situation has acted as a wakeup call to the rest of Europe. And that wake-up call has resulted in proposed reforms in a number of neglected areas that, if passed, will lead to sensible financial regulation and transparency -- as well as strengthen European unity.

Lessons for Europe From California
Article: 17 February 2010 - The Guardian. The financial aftershocks being felt in Greece will show the EU what union really means. When
Governor Schwarzenegger asked the federal government for a return on that long-term support, the White House shut the door and the Republican states long subsidised by California were unsympathetic. Memories are short, as is gratitude. Wouldn't it be ironic if one day, Germany asked the EU for a helping hand and was told "nein" by its erstwhile beneficiaries?
