Greece Should Leave Euro to Rebuild Economy, says Martin Feldstein
Martin Stuart Feldstein (George F. Baker Professor of Economics at Harvard and also president emeritus of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) ) talked about the prospects of a Greek euro exit in an interview at Bloomberg.
He expressed the opinion that there is no specific formula that the countries can follow in order to solve their economic problems. Each country is different... and in the case of Greece and there is no solution but to exit the euro zone since the country's economy is in terrible situation that can not be fixed...
“Well, I think it would create chaos, it would create problems” says Mr. Feldstein and he adds,
“It would be better for Greece to be able to adopt a new currency, a drachma, allow the currency to fall as currencies did in East Asia and in Latin America; that would give a significant boost to growth in Greece as Greeks shift their spending to domestically produce goods and services.”
