Abstract
The dramatic fiscal developments in Greece have provoked a huge and ongoing debate on how to deal with Greece’s predicaments and the Eurozone problems. the EU’s actual crisis management in response to Greece’s debt distress; debt resolution mechanisms in the Eurozone; and long-term solutions for the Eurozone or, more broadly, for the EU.1
This text is derived from a lecture Professor Leszek Balcerowicz gave at an event organised by the Konstantinos Karamanlis Institute for Democracy in Athens, on 23 September 2010.
