There is little hope for any country until it finds leadership that realizes that it does not have to be subservient to global markets and the current fashions of economic "philosophy" and that to be subservient is a political decision. Within their borders they can decide. Decide wisely and they can make a beginning of an end to the current misery. This is far from equally easy for each country, but smaller countries can band together with other small countries.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
