Agreed. A smart, pragmatic economist pilloried for trying to rescue a country strip mined by vampiric corporatists doesn't make any sense except perhaps when someone had an agenda to shovel and/or is tribally against exploring some ideas because the current order works for them.

This is false. Greece had a public debt crisis not a corporate crisis. Didn't really have much corporates anyway.

You're right but miss the spirit.

Greece was indirectly forced to accept a poor deal by capitalists because of how they would have suffered if Greece refused and the german & french banks collapsed.

The ECB was under pressure from it's largest economies to give Greece a poor deal.
