EURO CRISIS & EUROPE’s DENIAL
, 14/10/2013
After the 2nd World War, and under the purposeful guidance of the United States, Europe began the process of integration which succeeded in making it possible to imagine a United Europe. For decades Europe’s elites bopped merrily across a sea of self-satisfying myths which nevertheless proved functional to the difficult task of creating the requisite […]

Over the years, the frequency of my tv interventions has been highly correlated with the Euro Crisis’ above-the-surface intensity. This page offers links to some of them. Featured videos: The two featured videos that I selected for this page are: (a) a mini documentary on the Euro Crisis that I wrote and presented for Channel […]

RADIO INTERVIEWS/TALKS: A list of interviews/talks follows mainly on the Crisis (global, European, Greek, Irish etc.). My numerous interviews with Doug, which have been tracking the Euro and the Greek crises for years now, present themselves as a running commentary on events in Europe since 2008. Additionally, extensive interviews on a variety of topics are included (e.g. […]
No signal: an intimate, personal history of ERT
, 25/09/2013
Regular readers will recall my pieces on the closure of the Greek public broadcaster. A longer and more comprehensive version, in which I took the time and the space to unfold my memories of ERT’s presence in our collective Greek experience, became our third contribution to Witte de With’s Review. For the WdW Review site, click […]
ERT (Greek state tv-radio) is dead: A blacklisted person’s lament
, 11/06/2013
A few hours ago, the Greek government announced that state television and radio channels would be silenced at midnight. No public debate, no debate in Parliament, no warning. Nothing. ERT, the Greek version of the BBC, will simply fold its tent and steal into the night. As probably the only Greek commentator to have been […]

Austerity, the Gold Standard and the Eurozone: Today's Guardian Editorial
, 30/05/2013
Some time ago, I wrote a post with which I compared the predicament of the Eurozone’s Periphery with that of Britain under the mid-war Gold Standard. The title was Europe’s Periphery: A postmodern version of Britain in the 1930s? Yesterday, I used a pointed metaphor by which to dispel the nonsense that Europe is loosening up […]
While waiting for Cyprus' Godot….
, 23/03/2013
Here are some unedited thoughts I just shared with the BBC’s Radio 4 on Cyprus while we are all waiting for the new deal to shape up: Cyprus’ banking sector must shrink. As did Ireland’s, the hard way. What is essential, as every Irishman and woman will tell you, is that the politicians do not […]
Why is the 2009 Greek government deficit probed by the courts, again?
, 29/01/2013
Greek judges are, again, moving against Mr Georgiou, the Head of ELSTAT (the revamped Greek national statistics bureau). Why is this happening? And what does it signify?
Κυριακάτικη Ελευθεροτυπία
, 26/01/2013
Όταν η ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΟΤΥΠΙΑ έκλεισε σταμάτησα να αγοράζω ελληνική εφημερίδα σε καθημερινή βάση. Κι όταν μου ανακοινώθηκε η προσπάθεια επανέκδοσής της, και μου προτάθηκε να συνεισφέρω άρθρα μου σε εβδομαδιαία βάση, δέχθηκα – αφού πρώτα συζήτησα με διάφορους ανθρώπους του κλάδου για το “ποιόν” την προσπάθειας. Μετά την ανακοίνωση της συνεργασίας μου με την νέα ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΟΤΥΠΙΑ, δέχθηκα […]

Are digital currencies the future?
, 26/09/2012
In today’s edition of Business Daily, a BBC World Service radio program, Ed Butler investigates digital currencies. As you will hear, my contribution was to warn that, while digital currencies are the future, the libertarian (wet) dream of an international digital-gold standard that involves no collective agency (i.e. democratically or otherwise determined government) is a […]

Καλώς όρισες αναγνώστη στις σελιδες τούτες. Γνωρίζω βέβαια πως ο μόνος λόγος που επισκέπτεσαι αυτή την σελίδα είναι ότι, δυστυχέστατα, με γνώρισες λόγω της Κρίσης που έρριξε την Ελλάδα σε μια ασταμάτητη δίνη. Μακάρι να παρέμενα γνωστός μόνο στους φοιτητές, στους συναδέλφους, στους φίλους… Από τότε που η Ελλάδα πτώχευσε, περί τα τέλη του 2009, βρέθηκα […]
