Of course, the economics behind the program that the “troika” (the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund) foisted on Greece five years ago has been abysmal, resulting in a 25% decline in the country’s GDP. I can think of no depression, ever, that has been so deliberate and had such catastrophic consequences: Greece’s rate of youth unemployment, for example, now exceeds 60%.
当然，“三驾马车”（欧盟委员会、欧洲央行和IMF）五年前强加给希腊的计划背后的经济学不可不谓糟糕透顶，它导致希腊GDP缩水25%。我再也想象不出会有哪次萧条能够比希腊更加“故意”，后果更加灾难性：比如，希腊年轻失业率现已超过60%。
