- How can we emerge from the economic and social crisis caused by the over-indebtedness of the Greek State?
- How can we escape the 'trap' of the memorandums and their poor implementation after three years of failed experiments?
- How can we limit the selfish squandering of public money and confront the ongoing triumph of major interests at the expense of the public interest?
- How can we balance between the generation of the Polytechnic, which is organizing its lavish retirement while having failed in managing the economy, and the younger generation, which is called to bear the brunt of the crisis while lacking opportunities for a good professional start?
- How can we put a brake on the disintegration of the productive private sector of the economy?
- How can we reduce the so-called cost of Democracy and lessen the distance that separates the political class from the citizens?
- How can we take advantage of the opportunities presented by the European crisis without politically isolating ourselves and facing economic catastrophe?
These are some of the questions that George Kiritsis attempts to answer. The author admits that there are no ready-made and easy solutions, which is why he calls on citizens to take the lead in the difficult search for a way out of the multifaceted crisis. He encapsulates his approach in the title of the book 'Get Angry But Dare!'.
He believes that citizens must be outraged by the unacceptable situation that has developed, but without succumbing to the comforts of populism, which acts as a shield for those primarily responsible for the crisis. He argues that only if a creative dimension is given to the justified indignation of citizens will a new economic and social dynamic develop that will lead us out of the impasse.
The book is a call to readers to take on additional responsibilities in addressing the crisis and to isolate, through the responsibility and effectiveness they will exhibit, the managers of the bankrupt political and economic system of power. If they dare, citizens will be able to claim, with serious chances of success, the prevention of the looming destruction.
George Kiritsis has a 32-year career in journalism and publishing, during which he publishes more than 1,000 words a day in the print media where he works or directs. He does not feel the need to write a book to communicate with the reading public. However, he feels the need to warn, with the publication of his book, about what is coming and to ask those who are interested and do not participate in the ongoing 'party' of selfish mismanagement to combine outrage with courage in search of a new dynamic.
In 2003, he warned with the publication of the book 'The Secret War of Powers' about the low quality and intertwined characteristics of neo-Karamanlism. The governmental failure of ND during the period 2004 - 2009 fully vindicated his predictions, which enhances the significance of the book 'Get Angry But Dare!'. This time, the warning is not limited to the partisan space of ND but addresses all citizens.
