About this book

The European Union's weakest economy is in crisis. This makes Greece's participation in European Monetary Union doubtful and weakens her security against mounting foreign pressures. She must improve her economic performance dramatically. The book explains why Greece has lost ground and covers growth, inflation, public debt, banking, social security, industry, housing and tourism. The social and political roots of the crisis are identified. The road for recovery is outlined. Passionately written, it is also a rich source of data on Greece not readily found elsewhere.
