Nobel Prize winner compares them to the medieval doctors who advocated bloodletting patient, and when this became weaker and weaker, insisted on dropping even more.
According to Krugman’s proposed austerity measures Greece would kill the economy of this country, not reduce debt . Commentator “New York Times” believes that the Greeks determined to vote “no” gives you at least a chance to escape from this trap.
Paul Krugman admits that begins with a period of uncertainty and that one scenario is the abandonment of this euro country. – If the Greeks abandon the euro, it does not mean they are bad Europeans – Krugman writes, arguing that although the Greek problem is a result of irresponsible borrowing and irresponsible lending, the common European currency does not give respite to countries that find themselves in trouble. – At this moment it is important to stop the bleeding – concludes the Nobel Prize winner.
