This evening in front of the Arch of Hadrian.
In Athens, at a meeting at the National & Kopodistrian University of Athens, one of the oldest "modern" institutes of learning in Greece. We meet daily in the main building which dates to the early 19th century. Its front plaza, the propylaeum, has been the historical center of social protest for decades (centuries?). Graffiti is all over Athens, angry graffiti....on historical buildings, statues, stores, houses.....the city is suffering. And yes, the venal Goldman Sachs had something to do with it (here).
Please follow this link...Morris I know you are listening. Yiannis Billris, your photographs are amazing.
"Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government to mask the true extent of its deficit with the help of a derivatives deal that legally circumvented the EU Maastricht deficit rules. At some point the so-called cross currency swaps will mature, and swell the country's already bloated deficit."
