RE: Ρετσίνα: Greek sarcasm?
It's true that the Euro limits the available tools to control a country's economy, but on the other hand, it's stronger than the Drachma and the Lev. You can very well imagine what will happen to both economies, by combining money printing, corrupt politicians and foreign exchange speculations with these two weak currencies. Add to that the requirements of the free European market, which means that the country will still have no control over its imports and exports (unless it leaves the EU).
So, is that Retsina any good? :)
I don't think strong currencies are what struggling countries need, on the contrary, but that may be the retsina talking 8-). I did buy a carton as a sort of apology on behalf of many Dutch people for our mr. Dijsselbloem's lack of economic knowledge and general behaviour, and yes, it's quite good. What Bulgarian specialty do you recommend?
