If that is what happened, that makes the IMF, Germany, and big banks
appear to be very greedy. I.e., this looks like an asset grab for rich
countries.  As Greece's base of assets declines, it'll be increasingly
more difficult for them to make loan repayments.  So, it appears to be
induced indebtedness or forced poverty for the benefit of greedier
countries.  In a union, that those in the U.S. see as much more
socialist than here, the larger, more powerful countries should have
stood up and said they'll finance Greece long-term, providing a minimum
level of support, without financially "pillaging" Greece's asset base.

If such activity continues on a large scale and including government
assets, Germany will end up owning Greece.  That may be the way of the
markets or a harsh lesson for Greece, but it's definitely not
neighborly or nice.  I don't see how any of this would help to keep
Greece within the E.U.

Was this a direct cause of an integrated currency or of other market
forces or of financial mismanagement? ...  I wasn't following this
closely, but I was under the impression that Greece had badly
mismanaged their finances.
