To Euro or not to Euro?
Meanwhile, the manifest’s forecasts have become an inconvenient truth. The harsh austerity and privatization policies that accompany the recurring ‘rescue’ packages of the EU and the IMF and the interventions of the ECB seem to only aggravate the crisis. Countries of the periphery such as Greece, Portugal and Spain have entered an ever deeper recession which in terms of its socioeconomic costs only compares to the Great Depression in the 1930s and to periods of war.
This Real World Economics session addresses the important question of whether and how these peripheral countries will survive in the Eurozone. The issue of leaving the euro has troubled social movements of southern European countries over the past two years. At the same time, political elites categorically seem to refute the possibility of a ‘Grexit’ or ‘Spexit’. Invited guest speakers are Marica Frangakis (Nicos Poulantzas Institute), Geert Reuten (UvA, Senator of the SP) and Dimitris Pavlopoulos (VU Amsterdam).

Reunion with a twist: inheriting from Amsterdam and Seattle
The CEO/TNI conference “EU in crisis” felt like a reunion, even though many of the people were new. The atmosphere was the same as in 1997, during the activities around the Treaty of Amsterdam, where 50.000 people showed up for demonstrations supporting the Summit from Below. While there was already the beginning of a pan- European movement, who could have foreseen then the European Social... ဆက်လက်ဖတ်ရှုပါ
Greece could begin again
Greece is approaching the climax of its crisis, and its choices will influence the course of Europe for years. Although Greece represents only 2% of the European Union’s GDP, the impact of those choices will be wide.The Greek crisis is fundamentally the result of its membership of the eurozone. Greece is paying the price for a belief in the ancient fallacy that possessing “hard” money puts a... ဆက်လက်ဖတ်ရှုပါ
