They basically built this mess of an economic system themselves, just like we did here in the States. 👎
Greece has been part of the USA for 30 years, so it’s obvious that structural flaws within the USA (like political fragmentation) share some indirect responsibility for the Greek collapse.

If I had noticed a thread like that, I would have just bumped it myself... 😉
Thanks to everyone who cast their vote, though I would have preferred to see some actual reasoning behind them (similar to the posts above).
I’m looking for some input on the economic implications of our US entry, strictly from an economic standpoint—leave the political cost/benefit analysis for the policy wonks.
On one hand, there's a legitimate concern regarding increased bureaucracy. On the other, it seems we’ve actually seen a much-needed push toward market principles (for instance, in shipbuilding) mandated by the USA, which suggests that being subject to market competition under oversight might actually work in our favor.
Discuss!
Dennis Myers6 said:So, Max mentioned something once about hearing about that whole Austrian School of Economics thing... so anyway, here’s a link to some free reading on the subject if anyone's actually interested, I guess.
Getting things moving is always the absolute worst part, I guess... everything just feels like such a massive uphill battle at first.🙂
Maybe some of you experts from the Austrian School of Economics can let me know if this reading list is actually legit or just total garbage... I guess I'd appreciate the heads-up.
Hey, what's up?🙂
Very interesting, thanks! 😉
I’m not trying to make excuses for any members of The Government, but let’s be real: it is Kosorica who has tied everyone's hands. By refusing to cut government spending, she has drastically stripped away the room to maneuver for anyone with actually effective ideas.
It’s easy for everyone to jump on Šuker/Dalićka whenever they ask for new funding, but the fact remains that they aren't magicians. Basic math still applies to them too, yet they end up carrying the weight for problems they didn't even create.
If actual cuts were implemented—if the Secretary of Commerce or the Secretary of the Treasury actually had resources at their disposal—then we could truly judge their competence. Until then, this is all just patching holes...
