Description
Greece is a country with a modern history of 183 years
while the history of its external debt has a modern history of 189 years. This
lecture will include an extended analysis on the history and dynamic of the
Greek debt starting from the distant 1824 and the very first loans given by the
City leading up to the current situation. The relationship between the trends
in national debt and politics will be thoroughly examined while Mr. Kazakis,
will be presenting his thesis for a possible solution to the major issue of the
Greek national debt and the current financial crisis within the Eurozone. His
radical thesis includes an extended plan based on the principle of an immediate
exit from the Eurozone and the use of the national currency as a basic stimulus
for growth through the nationalization of the Greek banking system.
Among others, Mr. Kazakis in his lecture will present
his own predictions for Greece and the Eurozone in general using his expertize
on international economics which led him to become the first economist in
Greece who since 2001 had accurately predicted the dramatic increase in
Greece’s national debt and the current financial crisis in Europe while since
December 2012 he had accurately predicted the Deposits Haircut in Cyprus. The
lecture will be concluded by an open discussion with the audience.
