Has anyone seen the interview with Varoufakis in the new issue of CH? I don't know if it's a real interview or not.

He says (on medicine in the Middle Ages): ""At that time venesection (bleeding) was prescribed, which made the sick often more ill, after which they were again allowed to bleed."

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin

@charles_hawley How can Schäuble be stunned if @YanisVaroufakis said the same at the joint press conference in Berlin? @SPIEGEL_English

I'm not astonished that Schäuble thinks he can get away with it. I'm astonished that the public allows him to.

Part of the whole program Greece is currently operating under states Greece will receive a writedown (not a restructuring) when it achieves a primary surplus.
