Fwd: Erratic thoughts from Greece

[David Morris]

A conversation:

Q: Have you come across Yanis Varoufakis piece, How I became an erratic
Marxist?

Me:
Greece needs more advocates, but it's really just a sideshow in the big
picture. Austerity is killing Europe, and Germany leads the austerity
mission. They fear Weimar hyperinflation, despite the irrationality of that
in this present economy. The EU can't have a US-like unified
currency/economy because its culture will never be that unified. The US is
a mixing pot, and though we might love Louisiana more than Arkansaw, we are
willing to share a national tax pot that balances, somewhat, economic
inequalities amongst the 50 states.  Europe's rich states are not willing
to subsidized its poorer states. Their union is very thin.
