Watch. Learn."<br /><br />Indeed, we are in pretty much an unprecedented situation, Syriza have to deal with this and they are getting advise from everywhere. Ok no problem with that. But while we rant and rave if they do not follow our preferred path we should still watch and learn from what they do.<br /><br />I am not saying it is an experiment because it is too serious for that but we will learn things we didn't know before, if we can digest that and not simply mouth off when it goes right or wrong! Too many people think they have all the answers and are looking to proved correct, rather than humbly thinking, what can I learn from all this.BCFGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-32370559885795523672015-01-29T06:52:42.248+00:002015-01-29T06:52:42.248+00:00Hi Phil, I've been following your blog for a f...Hi Phil, I've been following your blog for a few months now.<br /><br />What do you make of Bill Mitchell's take on Greece/Austerity in these couple of recent blogs?<br /><br />http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=30037<br /><br />http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=30048<br /><br />I think you'll find them interesting, especially the one inbetween about Smart Austerity being Dumb Austerity.WillORNGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759801640058517521noreply@blogger.com
