Krisen i Grekland - den ENDA tråden

[inkfish]

Brittiska channel4:s Paul Mason tycker att Grekland ändå vann når det gäller skulden. Men att demokratin är förloraren.

Slutet på hans läsvärda blogginlägg är snyggt:

What they’ve arguably got is a global reputational disaster: the crushing of a left-wing government elected on a landslide, the flouting of a 61 per cent referendum result. The EU – a project founded to avoid conflict and deliver social justice – found itself transformed into the conveyor of relentless financial logic and nothing else.

Ordinary people don’t know enough about the financial logic to understand why this was always likely to happen: bonds, haircuts and currency mechanisms are distant concepts. Democracy is not. Everybody on earth with a smartphone understands what happened to democracy last night.
