Greece didn't fail, but the EU's debt moralising did.

It is often said that if you owe the bank $1 million you have a problem.  But if you owe the bank $1 billion, the bank has a problem!  The EU has that sort of problem with Greece. Joseph Stiglitz, in a recent article (see link below) sets out the problems which the EU now faces. This article was originally published in AlterNet.   John Menadue
