What Happens When Economists Talk Politics

FacebookGoogle+TwitterLinkedinemail Jack Delano Chicago & North Western Railroad locomotive shops 1942 As the “Varoufakis Files” provide everyone interested in the Greek tragi-comedy with an additional million pages of intriguing fodder -we all really needed that added layer of murky conspiracy, re: the Watergate tapes-, a different question has been playing in my head. Again. That is: Why are economists discussing politics? Why are the now 6 month long Greece vs Troika discussions being conducted by the people who conduct them?

Indicting Varoufakis: The World Upside Down

FacebookGoogle+TwitterLinkedinemail LoC Old Patent Office model room, Washington DC 1865 There’s always a great irony in anyone at all coming under pressure for doing exactly what they should be doing. Still, it happens a lot. The irony gets that much greater when the party in question is a government, and a much maligned one at that. Of course Syriza had to look into options, possibilities, eventualities if ever the moment might come that Greece had to (were forced to) move

The Number One Lesson From Athens

FacebookGoogle+TwitterLinkedinemail Harris&Ewing Balancing act, John “Jammie” Reynolds, Washington DC 1917 There’s arguably nothing that’s been more hurtful -in more ways than one- to Greece and its Syriza government over the past six months, than the lack of support from the rest of Europe. And it’s not just the complete lack of support from other governments -that might have been expected-, but more than that the all but complete and deafening silence on the part of individuals and organizations, including political
