[lbo-talk] Le Monde D on Greece

[Chuck Grimes]

``In this month's podcast for Le Monde diplomatique, George Miller speak to 
Noëlle Burgi about the heavy toll that austerity measures are exacting in 
her homeland, Greece.

Noëlle, who is a researcher at the Centre Européen de Sociologie et de 
Sciences Politique (CESSP), Sorbonne University, Paris, describes Athens and 
Thessaloniki as `dying cities' ''

It's pretty good because she focuses on the human and social cost, which is 
usually not much reported: humiliation, anger, despare and self-destructive 
behaviors, family abuse, prostitution, drugs, vast increases in health 
problems.

I thought her report sounded a lot like those coming from Russia when it got 
neoliberalized by the Harvard economic geniuses.
