By now, it seems like the entire world knows something about the “Greek Crisis.” Yet, few people understand the real causes that underlie this tsunami that has swept away the assumptions of generations of Greeks. Even fewer are clear about what has to be done to restore Greece to growth and prosperity.
Professors Odysseus Katsaitis, Dimitris Doulos and Nicholas Prirounakis of the DEREE Economics Department, wrote a three-part treatise on the origins of the crisis, the current developments, and the way forward, respectively, in order to give readers an overview of the most dramatic developments to be faced by post-World War II Greece.
Also, Dr. Nickolaos Travlos, dean of the ALBA Graduate Business School at The American College of Greece, writes about private higher education – once one of the mightiest taboos in Greek politics – can actually prove an economic boon for the country.
Finally, London criminologist, Dr. Leonidas K. Cheliotis, a DEREE alumnus, writes about the not-so-obvious correlation between crisis and crime rates.
