Re: 4-Jan-15 World View -- Far left Greece election victory
Wouldn't Greece be better off in the long run with the drachma? How will keeping the Euro benefit them now?

1. They wouldn't be able to sell bonds to borrow money or, at least,
they'd have to pay unsustainable interest rates, perhaps 20% or more.
2. The value of the drachma would plunge relative to the euro,
resulting in hyperinflation.
3. Since most Greek debts are denominated in the euro, it would be
impossible to pay them off with the devaluated drachma.
4. The entire economy would be much worse off than it is now.
