Dogma, morality and blind spots are playing a much greater role, obscuring economic and financial realities.Tell us something we didn't know, Mohamed.
Chances are...awfully bad;
Putting all this together leads me to postulate today a 45/10/45 probability distribution: There is a 45 percent chance that a last minute messy compromise allows the muddling-through to continue; a 10 percent chance that a meaningful policy breakthrough will be achieved, and a 45 percent chance that the outcome is a Graccident in which both the Greek government and its European partners lose control of the situation. Under this third scenario, a series of Greek payment defaults, bank runs and the imposition of capital controls would force Greece out of the single currency.Even the worst among us can be a good bad example.
It would be a crime against humanity and an immoral experiment to take a small country and impose pure socialist policy just to see if it would collapse in spectacular fashion.
