There seems to be a contrast be-
tween the way problems were faced
in ancient Athens and modern
Greece. Back then people were not
afraid to face up to reality and find
immediate solutions to the problems
facing them. Nowadays, we had to
face disaster, as the country almost
defaulted, before we decided it was
time to drop the masks and look at
our real self and thus start to try to
overcome the problem and all the
consequences of the financial crisis
brought about by the sociopolitical
crisis.
