LSE public lecture
Going back to Philip II of Spain in the 16th century, government debt defaults need not be disastrous as long as they accept the reality of their situation. The main problem with Greece is not the prospect of default but the fact that the eurozone has been in denial about its problems.

Born in Chester, he attended a local comprehensive school before graduating from Balliol College, Oxford, with a degree in history.
