What is the "real economy"?
- sx 16y agoI am not advocating tax evasion. I think, US for example, is a great place to do business, as opposed to Greece, because the letter of the law is followed and the rules are clear to everyone. I am just saying that the Greek government was so inefficient and the public sector so bloated, that in some sense tax evasion was helping put people's money at more efficient uses.

- sx 16y agoSuch as building their own private businesses and employing other people in the private sector. For example, it is much more beneficial to the country to build, say a new hotel (as this is Greece's biggest industry), instead of wasting the money on more public-railroad-type of money wasting businesses.
