On Monetary policy; Although Monetary policy may make a temporary appearance of an improvement, it actually is slowly destroying a Free market economy. See US prosperity from 1913-2013

It is not possible to manage an economy purely with Keynesian policy, there must be a well defined and mixed policy.

I am a true libertarian, which means that I believe in both social and economic non-interference. A synonym for my political ideology would be anarcho-capitalistic.

All we need to do is to prepare a solid, well laid out plan to cut the debt over 5-10 years, and then decide to stick to it. The best way is by increasing taxes on the upper richer class, and using the tax money to cut the debt and stimulate the economy.

The emperor has no clothes and all politicians still see them. They each want the other guy to take the hit. To do the right thing is political suicide.

The main problem of the Greece is the inelastic stracture of labor market. The institutional obligations of \"central\" EU countries to the periphery ones are the main reason of the crises. The second one is the abstinence of Central Bank of Greece.
