GREECE’S ‘ODIOUS’ DEBT by Jason Manolopoulos Anthem Press, London & NY, 20II ISBN 978-0-85728-771-7 (292pp tpb) Available: www.anthempress.com t the time of writing this review, Greece and other debt-ridden eurozone nations are poised to fall amidst the European sovereign debt crisis and an anticipated double-dip recession in the USA. In Greece's ‘Odious' Debt, Jason Manolopoulos, he co-founder of an alternative asset management firm, explains how Greece is one small but crucial cog in he global economic crisis but its collapse could have a cataclysmic impact on living standards, near and ar. In this drama that has decades of history, many are to blame: Greek politicians and society, trade unions, European Union leaders, the IMF, the world's investment banks, and more. Greece's economy was already dysfunctional when the global economic crisis hit in 2008, yet it has since been propped up by two bailouts which, foreseeably, failed because of structural problems, a corrupt, inefficient public sector and an unreformed political system. It beggars belief that an already debt- drowning nation could be allowed to borrow in excess of 300 billion euros without the means to escape more "odious" debt, but Manolopoulos sheds light on psychological biases hat contribute to systemic, repeated errors. Political and institutional eaders have little time to make the conceptual leaps and changes needed to avert dire economic and social outcomes with years of severe austerity measures.
