Introduction
It is difficult not to connect the severity of the economic
crisis in Greece with the fact that during 30 years of participation in the
European Union, our country did not manage to adapt to what are or were the
caracteristics of a european capitalist economy and society. The administration
remained inefficient, production was lagging behind, and the social state was
partial and offered unequal services, while not covering all of the working
population.
