Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of the Greece debt crisis and discuss about possible solutions for the Greek economy in Post - Keynesian perspective. In this framework, first, the establishment and evolution of the European Monetary Union will be briefly examined. Second, the effects of the monetary union on the Greek economy will be discussed. Then, the remedies for the crisis along with the measures taken within the scope of the rescue package adopted will be examined from a Post Keynesian perspective. At this point, Hyman Minsky’s Financial Instability Hypothesis and Michal Kalecki’s profit function will be used to analyze the reasons behind the crisis. Last but not least, Employer of the Last Resort Programme, which can be summarized as a program where the government takes into employment of anyone who is willing and able to work, will be discussed as a cure for the recovery.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Yunanistan borç krizinin nedenlerini analiz etmek ve Yunanistan ekonomisi icin olası çözüm önerilerini Post - Keynesyen bir bakış açısıyla incelemektir. Bu çerçevede, ilk olarak, Avrupa Para Birliği’nin kuruluşu ve gelişimi incelenecektir. İkinci olarak, para birliğinin Yunanistan ekonomisi üzerine olan etkileri irdelenecektir. Daha sonra, krizin ardından öne sürülen kurtarma paketi kapsaminda alınan tedbirler dahilinde, kriz için olası çözümler Post-Keynesyen bir bakış açısıyla incelenecektir. Bu noktada, Hyman Minsky’nin finansal istikrarsızlık hipotezi ve de Michal Kalecki’nin kar fonksiyonundan yararlanılarak, krizin nedenleri analiz edilecektir. Son olarak, devletin çalışmaya istekli ve de çalışabilecek durumda olan herkese iş olanağı sağlaması anlamına gelen devletin nihai işveren olma rolü, ekonomik toparlanma için bir çözüm önerisi olarak tartışılacaktır.
