Originally posted by altopiet It seems to me that Greeks are really between hell and high water, no matter what they decide, the future for them look quite bleak. The question is how the whole situation will impact on the rest of the world and more specifically the other, third world countries.....
Not really , they could weather the conversion from the Euro to the Drachma quite well (there are blueprints out there to minimize the turmoil).
Bigger question is: the remaining "debtors". IF the EU is busted up even more, the EU banks will lose BIG TIME. The individual nations will return to their sovereign status w/ their own fiat currency and be done w/ the IMF as well...............
