Yanis Varouofakis — Dr Schäuble’s Plan for Europe: Do Europeans approve? – Article to appear in Die Zeit on Thursday 16th July 2015

Pre-publication summary: Five months of intense negotiations between Greece and the Eurogroup never had a chance of success. Condemned to lead to impasse, their purpose was to pave the ground for what Dr Schäuble had decided was ‘optimal’ well before our government was even elected: That Greece should be eased out of the Eurozone in order to discipline member-states resisting his very specific plan for re-structuring the Eurozone.

Herr Doktor tells the Greek FM that he's planning to throw Greece out of the Eurozone, and he sits their with his thumb up his ass sulking for months on end that the negotiations are going nowhere.

Yves Smith calls it "close to criminal." She is too kind.
