A cynical answer is: I bet the Greeks would take anyone they could get; because who the hell would want the job? It was either going to be someone from Goldman

A cynical answer is: I bet the Greeks would take anyone they could get; because who the hell would want the job? It was either going to be someone from Goldman Sachs or a crazy person. Since the Greek people would probably tar and feather anyone sent by Goldman, it had to be a crazy person. I hope he does well. It's a lot easier to write papers and give talks than it is to assume a job like "Finance Minister of Greece in 2015".
- winslow 12y agoHe definitely has a massive battle to fight with the Greece's problems. I'm quite interested in what he does and I think it might work. My understanding is they want to finally put an end to this loaning money and looking the other way while they kick the can down the road. It's a gamble but at this point there is no way they can pay back the debt anyways.
