More on Greece

More interesting articles on Greece debt crisis.

Greek Debt Talks Widen Divisions in the Euro Zone
from WSJ.

Inevitability of a Default in Greece
from NY Times.

Europe is running a giant Ponzi scheme
from FT.com.

The Financial Times article sums it up best:
Is this good or bad? It all depends on how one assesses the value of the time gained. Would a bank crisis now be more damaging to the European economy than a future debt write-off? Or, alternatively, is recognising reality and accepting a debt restructuring now preferable to increasing the burden on future taxpayers? At the end, it is a political decision, but it would be refreshing if things are called by their name. Euphemisms may be useful in the short run, but one finally recognises a Ponzi scheme when it persists.”
