Yanis Varoufakis' problem is that he was playing a different game. He was trying to be an economist and do the right thing for Greece when the Eurogroup was playing politics and trying to punish Greece. They never were interested in economics or a prosperous Greece, only in maintaining the power structure across Europe.
- andy_ppp 11y agoAbsolutely my reading of the situation too. I hear these two sides of the argument "Greece is a petulant and lazy bad state, hit them" and the one I subscribe to "let's forgive Greece, it was on the banks to lend stupid amounts of money to them".
- roel_v 11y agoWell I have autistic tendencies and I'm an academic; and I do believe in democracy although not so much the mob rule variety; so 'it takes one to know one' is rather apt here...
