International Finance and Investment, The Greece Debt Crisis
Human fallibility ripped off Greece the dignity accorded to its rich history as the economy has been marred with endless conflicts, whose effects spreads beyond its national frontiers. The events revealing themselves in the Greece economy have caught the entire Eurozone in denials and bargains of accepting the reality of high debts. What led to the mess? With most banks demanding return of their money, it might insinuate a thinking that the Greece Debt crisis ensued from the failure of the banking system. However, though blaming the financial sector for Greece economic troubles appears popular, it denies facts on the root cause of system lapses that propagated such mess.
