Good overview of the story as a "Perfect Storm" of multiple factors leading to present mess. Written a couple of years ago, he seems to assume that none of the measures tried will save Greece, and by extension the Eurozone, from total collapse. Hasn't happened yet. The story is mostly familiar, but fairly well told; slightly muddied by telling the Greek and Argentinian crises in parallel, which gets confusing.
