Since the nineteenth century, Greek financial and economic crises
have been an enduring problem, most recently engulfing the European
Union and EU member states. The latest crisis, beginning in 2010,
has been - and continues to be - a headline news story across the
continent. With a radically different approach and methodology,
this anthropological study brings new insights to our understanding
of the Greek crises by combining historical material from before
and after the nineteenth century War of Independence with extensive
longitudinal ethnographic research. The ethnography covers two
distinct periods - the 1980s and the current crisis years - and
compares Mystras and Kefala, two villages in southern Greece, each
of which has responded quite differently to economic circumstances.
Analysis of this divergence highlights the book's central point
that an ideology of aspiration to work in the public sector,
pervasive in Greek society since the nineteenth century, has been a
major contributor to Greece's problematic economic development.
Shedding new light on previously under-researched anthropological
and sociological aspects of the Greek economic crisis, this book
will be essential reading for economists, anthropologists and
historians.
