Greece entered the Euro currency in
January 2001. This was supposed to protect and develop our economy. Yet, the
opposite occurred. For many years before, living with our historical currency
the drachma, we have never experienced a similar catastrophe like today. We may
indeed speak for a modern Greek tragedy. It is true that, part of the blame is
due to the viciousness of our political system. But the same political system,
more or less, existed also in the past during the drachma years.
