The economy of modern Greece has a history of two centuries. During these two hundred years, the country managed to transition from the periphery of Southeastern Europe to the core of today's European Union. From a poor agricultural province of the Ottoman Empire, it has transformed into one of the most developed economies in the broader region of Southeastern Europe, despite the two major economic crises that struck the country in 2010 and 2020.
In this book, we review and analyze the history of the economy of modern Greece, from the eve of the independence struggle to the present day. We focus on the main determining factors of its transformations and development, with particular emphasis on the role and interactions of national, social, and economic ideas, institutions, and policies, as well as the impacts of international and geopolitical developments.
The goal of the book is to interpret the developments through the analysis of the deeper factors that have determined and continue to determine the course of the Greek state and the Greek economy.
