1) Greece experienced decades of welfare populism from 1981-2011 where it accumulated large debts through government overspending, borrowing, and minimal structural reforms.
2) This led to a bloated welfare state with inefficient social programs and powerful public sector unions, and a culture of corruption, cronyism and rent-seeking that stifled economic freedom.
3) Greece now has high debts, deficits, and unemployment and a weak economy in need of regulatory, tax, welfare and institutional reforms to transition to more inclusive economic institutions and market-based growth.

The document discusses several concepts related to democracy and individual rights in ancient Athens:
1) Athens was considered the birthplace of democracy, with power held by the democratic majority, but there were debates around whether individual rights were recognized or if the individual was defenseless against the will of the powerful majority.
2) While the idea of restraining government power through laws was discussed theoretically, Athens was not truly considered a "rule of law" state in practice, as there were no strong institutional restraints on the power of the democratic majority.
3) The concept of individuality was largely foreign in ancient Greece, where citizens were seen primarily as parts of the larger organic whole of society, rather than as distinct individuals

This document discusses the problems with cronyism and corruption in Greece's economy. It notes that Greece has very low scores on various indices measuring economic freedom and competitiveness, ranking last in the EU. It attributes this to Greece having "extractive institutions" designed by political elites to benefit themselves rather than inclusive institutions that secure property rights and create opportunities for all citizens. Charts show that countries with higher economic freedom tend to have lower corruption, stronger political and civil rights, and higher incomes for the poorest 10% of the population. The document argues for reforming Greece's institutions and policies to be more open and competitive in order to reduce corruption and cronyism and benefit citizens.
Transaction costs as Οbstacles to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)Aristides Hatzis
Transaction costs present obstacles to alternative dispute resolution. There are several types of transaction costs, including search costs, information costs, bargaining costs, enforcement costs, and monitoring costs. Cognitive biases can also act as transaction costs by influencing people's preferences and decisions in ways that reduce the potential for mutually beneficial agreements. These include the endowment effect, overoptimism, hyperbolic discounting, loss aversion, and cognitive dissonance. While a world without transaction costs may achieve efficient outcomes, the real world faces various institutional, economic, and psychological barriers that prevent optimal dispute resolution through negotiation or alternative means.
