Oh! what a tangled web they weave

Germany will likely give Greece a second bailout in the very near future. Simon Hobbs tries to explain the incredibly tangled web from which the European Central Bank dangles above disaster. Hobbes suggests that a Greek default could lead to Ireland defaulting, which could lead to the collapse of the ECB.

Hobbs concludes, “Importantly, provided that greece keeps paying its bills the house of cards still stands.”

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
