Why is the rise of fascism in Greece surprising? Economic catastrophes are historically accompanied by such phenomena. Today, the situation is: "Greece’s industry is continuing to wither in an economy where fewer than 2.9 million employed (often underemployed) people are struggling to keep alive 1.4 million unemployed souls and another 5 million inactive Greeks. A place in which even asset rich citizens have been pushed into despair by a state demanding increasing property taxes from real estate that its owners can neither rent nor sell" (excerpt from Varoufakis).
