Concept for a Regeneration of the Greek Economy

In my humble personal opinion it would make sense to engage Mohammed Yunus (the Nobel Peace Prize Winner of 2006) to support a peaceful regeneration of the Greek economy, since his lucky influence in his motherland Bangladesh was unluckily ceased for reasons related to ideological power politics. Actually, the Greek economy offers an excellent opportunity to implement a local currency like it is used by cooperatives in Switzerland. See www.regiogeld.ch and www.regiogeld.de, for instance. Strictly speaking, that idea goes back to the great Greek philosopher Aristotle formulated in his Nikomachean Ethics. Although Aristotle was anything but socialist or communist, his economical concept is widely compatible with socialist ideas, especially with the actual intention to support agriculture and trade in a democratic and social manner. In some respects of the monetary system, Greek is a developmental country. However, this attribute "developmental country" should be understood as a great compliment and as a great opportunity at the same time, because development has to be regarded as a high cultural value in itself.
