Olivier Blanchard: 希腊除了降低工资外别无出路

Olivier Blanchard, IMF首席经济学家，发表了一篇题为The Logic and Fairness of Greece’s Program的文章，重新梳理了希腊面临的经济困境，认为希腊唯一出路在于降薪与降低成本，以提高国际竞争力，此外别无他法：

The best way forward would have been a negotiation between social partners to reduce wages and prices, and avoid a long and painful process of adjustment.
Were there less painful alternatives? I do not believe there were, or are.

Blanchard的观点其实并无新奇之处，他只是给希腊重复讲述了一遍大道理，希腊其实一直就在被强迫吃这副苦涩的药。
