The results of the Greek election have once again raised the possibility of a Greek exit from the Eurozone. In fact, many market commentators (myself included) now think a Greek exit inevitable. If Greece ends up with an anti-austerity government it seems inevitable that the Troika, that is the European

Eurozone Crisis: Hollande Is Right About Growth But Wrong About Everything Else
Ben Mountifield, May 8th, 2012
French President-elect, François Hollande, is right when he says that the EU fiscal pact needs to include measures to promote economic growth, but he is wrong about everything else. Apart from his intention to renegotiate the terms of the EU fiscal pact, an area in which he has already run
