OverviewThis book offers a comprehensive guide to the on-going Greek debt crisis. It identifies and explains Greece’s idiosyncratic weaknesses, and highlights the existing rigidities in the EU architecture that make the recovery prospects of the Greek economy challenging. Chapters from expert contributors highlight aspects of the performance of the Greek economy with focus on export performance, labour market conditions, political cycles and regional income disparities. The book then goes on to outline the banking system in Greece in the post-crisis era, and includes analysis that explains how the credit rating score affected Greece’s borrowing capacity prior to the start of the insolvency crisis. The final part analyses and compares alternative scenarios of fiscal consolidation, seeking to identify whether there are alternatives to fiscal austerity and the impact of each one of them. This section also clarifies various misconceptions about the significant determinants of international competitiveness. Despite the focus of the book, the lessons drawn from the chapters are not limited to Greece. This volume will be of interest to academics, practitioners and policy makers who wish to take a closer look at the Greek debt crisis and learn more about the challenges the Greek economy is currently facing.

His Braddock's Defeat: The Battle of the Monongahela and the Road to Revolution is distinguished not simply by his refusal to accept traditional interpretations but by his readiness to consider the perspectives of all the protagonists: British, colonial American, French-Canadian and, not least, Indian. Stephen Brumwell, The Wall Street Journal A vivid, sweeping account of a battle with singular impact on American history. The brilliant scholarship behind Braddock's Defeat is exceeded only by David L. Preston's storytelling verve. Rick Atkinson, author of THE LIBERATION TRILOGY Preston has investigated this important, though somewhat obscure, event in American history and penned an absorbing account rich in details, logical in its conclusions and written with great narrative drive. This is definitely in the Good Read category. The Post and Courier < With impressive research, new evidence, and close attention to terrain as well as to tactics, David Preston dismantles old stereotypes and provides a fuller understanding of the British, French, and Indian participants in the conflict. A compelling account that will surely become the definitive study of this pivotal battle.> -Colin G. Calloway, John Kimball, Jr. 1943 Professor of History and Professor of Native American Studies, Dartmouth College, author of The Victory with No Name This compelling and meticulous book revisits the opening shots of a war that would not end until French defeat at Waterloo, and a war that also planted the seeds of American revolution. BRADDOCK'S DEFEAT is an invaluable addition to any library of military history. Bernard Cornwell, author of WATERLOO: The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles David Preston has offered what will probably be the final word on one of the most important battles in North American history. This engaging, thorough book debunks timeworn myths about Edward Braddock and his soldiers while affording their French and American Indian foes long overdue attention and credit for what was their victory more than < Braddock's Defeat.> A vital contribution and singular scholarly achievement.
