That's such a weak correlation. Greek is in a crisis because people are working too many hours? Do you honesty believe that?

- johansch 10y agoFor the record: Greece is in a crisis because of the combination of: a) massive, pervasive tax evasion b) insane overspending in the public sector. Or, well, cooking the books. Also: Knowing what I've learned about Greece the past five years I wouldn't really put much trust in government-collected data on how much they work.
- pgz 10y agoOf course I don't believe these countries demise is caused by longer working hours. I know Italy a bit more than Greece and the main problem there is decades of widespread corruption at all levels of society. But in some way it's a small reflection of an inefficient society.
