Via The NYT,
To the Editor: If, as Paul Krugman suggests, Greece leaves the euro and returns to the drachma, and if it is then successful at reconfiguring its economy and managing to reestablish a functional government that collects taxes and pays debts, wouldn’t this encourage other economically struggling states like Italy, Ireland, Portugal and even France to abandon the union? Won’t a successful Greece show others,- that much as many young people who cannot afford to pay their rent return home,- they, too, can return to the way things used to be? If Greece does what seems so difficult, won’t it encourage a dissolution of the European Union? MARTIN BRAUN New York Comments are closed.
