Mustafa Cirakli By Mustafa Cirakli Filed Under: All posts, Europe, Featured Posted: July 30, 2015

Agreement has been reached over a deal to keep Greece in the Euro, for the time being at least. But, Mustafa Cirakli says, the problems in the country and the whole Eurozone are far from over.

Is the Ship of Fools setting sail from Europe?

Ian Crowther By Ian Crowther Filed Under: All posts, Featured Posted: February 13, 2015

The Ship of Fools – in Foucault’s book Madness and Civilisation – set sail from Basel in the 14th Century.

Analysis of Greece’s financial meltdown has tended to focus on the deficiencies of the Economic and Monetary Union, but the crisis was also the result of failures by the Eurozone’s leadership in terms of co-ordination and communication, explain Prof Dimitris Papadimitriou and Dr Sotirios Zartaloudis.
