It seems crazy to me that banks are allowed to deal with corrupt inept politicians who accept debts that are not repayable on the behalf of a country's people. Countries should be allowed to declare themselves bankrupt and after should follow a period of distrust not unlike personal bankruptcy. As a result banks would think twice before lending to poor debtors. Or is this a completely niavie viewpoint? I'm not in any way an economist so I'm genuinely interested to hear people's thoughts
