"Greece’s former finance minister talks Greece, Europe, the Labour Party
and the future of social democracy"
Great interview.
"But you need politicians that are capable of going out there and
saying: “You see that lazy bum over there that you hate? We should feed
him. And we should make sure he has a house. Because if he does not have
a house and he gets sick and so on, he is a greater burden for all of
us. And if there are lots of them and technological innovation produces
a lot more of them, that would be macro-economically unsustainable."
