EDITORIAL
Holding the carrot and the stick
 Cynics will not be surprised to learn that just one in 10 Greek universities and technical college departments have begun the process of internal evaluation that is now required of them by law. Most Greeks though, those who help finance higher education with their taxes, want to know just how much they are getting for their euro. They need to know why Greek university degrees and college diplomas are constantly losing ground to degrees earned in other European institutions.
COMMENTARY
As the rich get richer
 Poverty is endemic in capitalism. The rigid laws of the free market are daily pushing millions to the fringes of society. From the wealthier states to the poorer, the ranks of the poor are swelling as globalization exacerbates the uneven distribution of wealth. According to World Bank data, the richest 1 percent of the world's population - mostly residents of Europe and the US - own more than 40 percent of global wealth. The wealthiest 10 percent owns 85 percent of that wealth.
