EDITORIAL

Time for true decentralization Greece must be the only country on earth whose general secretary for forestry is found in the midst of the city. Of course, it is also the only country that has separate ministries for different geographical areas, such as the Ministry for the Aegean, also headquartered in the middle of Athens.

COMMENTARY

Taxing wealth Populism has always tried to cloak itself in ideology to cover up its hypocrisy. PASOK's election campaign program follows that rule to the letter by assuring it will fund the handouts it has promised by taxing the rich. No doubt there are major inequalities in the distribution of national income in Greece, as evident from the fact that we have the highest poverty rate in the EU. One in five Greeks has an annual income below 5,500 euros and unfortunately the government has delayed taking action, only promising to fight poverty in its next term to the tune of 2 billion euros annually.
