Jun 2012 · Penguin UK

About this ebook

The Financial Times, the global business newspaper, has led the field with its coverage of the eurozone crisis and Greece's political and financial chaos. As the chances of a Greek exit from the eurozone grow, the FT's specialist correspondents and authoritative columnists dissect the potentially devastating consequences for businesses and governments across Europe. Could a 'Grexit' spell the unravelling of the European Union? Should the world economy take cover? What would the impact be on Greece itself? Based on a series of articles published online and in print in May 2012, the Financial Times' first ebook includes a foreword by Lionel Barber, the FT editor, an updated introduction to possible scenarios in the months ahead and a new chapter on the options for Germany, Europe's paymaster. Contributors include award-winning commentators Martin Wolf, Wolfgang Münchau and Gillian Tett, and foreign correspondents Peter Spiegel and Quentin Peel.

Ratings and reviews

An interesting view of the situation. It warns of the internal political ramifications if the threat to remove Greece from the EU are made. The thrust includes the need for Germany who hold the propoded polices to Greeces internal economics woes and its effect by politcal and legal dominance of internal parties that could prevent the EU make the proposed changes. Presented as essays this compendium is insightful to to the ongoing political debate and challenges the hard line proposed reforms.

This book is amazingly interesting and did not get stuck with only one speculation of what were the consequences in the case of Greece's exit. Especially it was interesting for a business school student who have lived in Athens

This is the only free e-book from FT ans it's about Greece. What a propaganda! You should be ashamed of yourselves! You're so jealous of Greece's history, tradition, lifestyle, culture. Totally UNACCEPTABLE!
