The book explores in depth both the origins of the Greek debt crisis and the conditions under which the economy might be turned around from its current malaise. Greek debt turned explosive after the 2008 global crisis, through a combination of a fiscal spree and domestic policy complacency, but the unpreparedness and indecision of the European Union intensified the problem of liquidity and a massive bail-out agreement became inevitable.

However, the stringencies of the adjustment program led to more recession and unemployment, while social tension and political polarization became entrenched. In 2015, a radical Left party, Syriza, ascended to power on a ticket to end austerity and renegotiate Greece’s debt agreements, but a long-lasting growth and reform agenda is still to be settled upon. This book lays out some key reforms that would allow Greece to return to growth and, at the same time, keep the Euro, an option that still remains a cornerstone for the country’s economic and geopolitical stability.

Industry Reviews
Greece is pursuing a high-risk strategy in getting bail-outs from Germany and the rest of Europe. But the costs of a Grexit in terms of inflation and decline in living standards will be enormous. This brilliant analysis of Greece's dilemmas are wonderfully described by a former Minister of Finance of Greece, who is also a very sensible and knowledgeable macroeconomics professor. Let us hope that the politicians of Greece take heed and keep Greece afloat and in the Eurozone. The book will appeal to both academic and policy audiences and is a must-read for anyone interested in a voice of reason in these turbulent times.
