KingFisher posted:By placing the blame on the banks you are removing all agency from the greek, you are making my argument for me, that basically they would take any money given to them regardless of their ability to repay it. By your own logic then, aren't you doing exactly the same thing to the Germans and anyone else who loaned Greece money? Wouldn't their lack of agency that you've just implicitly admitted to mean said lenders are unfit to control a currency, or to be left alone with matches? paragon1 fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Jul 20, 2015 |

I find it extremely telling that you haven't come up with an answer for who *forced* the Germans to make the loan.

People often mention Italy and Spain as being similar to Greece when these sort of debates kick up. Would anyone care to share if there is any validity to that comparison, and if there is, how those countries' situations do and do not differ from Greece's?

Hmm...yes perhaps we've all just been confused and actually agreed with austerity all along!
