By the
Editors Sep 24, 2012 1:30 AM GMT+0300
Bloomberg

governments had reached agreement on the need for a banking union. This
consensus, if it ever existed, is unraveling, and that’s dangerous.

Μια αλήθεια για την αγορά από τον κ. Tσίπρα
17/09/2012
Από τον ιστότοπο www.protagon.gr
Χτες στη Θεσσαλονίκη ο Αλέξης Τσίπρας είπε μια μεγάλη
αλήθεια: Όταν τον ρώτησαν για τα παράνομα και αδήλωτα ιδιαίτερα μαθήματα που
κάνουν οι εκπαιδευτικοί του δημόσιου σχολείου, απάντησε: "Οταν τον
εξαθλιώνεις πρέπει να βρει έναν τρόπο να ζήσει."

By Michael
Stott
(Reuters) -
Berlin , not Brussels ,
will decide the future of the ailing eurozone because Germany 's
economic power and its status as the European Union's main paymaster give it an
effective veto over key decisions.

Αλέξης Τσίπρας: Μας οδηγείτε σε κατάσταση χειρότερη από την Αργεντινή
(Σημ. του blog. Το άρθρο είναι από την εφημερίδα
ΑΥΓΗ. Είναι η επίσημη εφημερίδα του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ. Η φράση του κ. Τσίπρα έγινε αφορμή
για καταγγελίες για «διαστρέβλωση» των όσων είπε. Στο άρθρο θα βρείτε την
εκδοχή της δήλωσης που, κατά τεκμήριο υποστηρίζει την επίσημη άποψη του
κόμματος. Δεν θα βρείτε πουθενά την διατύπωση του τίτλου του άρθρου … Μας
οδηγείτε σε κατάσταση χειρότερη από την Αργεντινή… γιατί απλούστατα ποτέ δεν
διατύπωσε ο κ. Τσίπρας μια τέτοια άποψη. Οι οπαδοί του κ. Τσίπρα, φυσικά, είναι
ελεύθεροι να πιστεύουν ότι μπορεί να μην το είπε αλλά σίγουρα το εννοούσε…Θα βρείτε όμως το περίφημο …Μακάρι να είχαμε
γίνει Αργεντινή… γιατί απλούστατα αυτό είπε! Τα σχόλια είναι ευπρόσδεκτα!)

Is Grexit the new Y2K?
From http://www.mindfulmoney.co.uk
At first
glance it seems that a 50 page plus academic paper from the University of Chicago
-Booth School of Business - is a statement of the obvious. Tax evasion is rife
in Greece and it is led by doctors, engineers, private tutors, financial
services agents, accountants and lawyers - all occupations where there is
substantial self-employment and limited or non-existent paper trails.

German lawmakers say "Grexit" not just economic risk
By Matthias
Sobolewski
(Reuters) -
Germany 's raucous internal
debate on whether to keep Greece
in the euro zone is too narrowly focused on financial factors and should also
weigh up the wider geopolitical risks of a "Grexit", senior officials
in Chancellor Angela Merkel's party say.
Europe drawn back to its first problem: Greece
(Reuters) -
The euro zone debt crisis was born in Greece . Nearly three years and two
bailouts on, Europe must decide whether to
give the country yet more help or cut it loose.
