Description

The documentary referring to the phenomenon of Debtocracy was first presented on Wednesday, April 6, 2011. In less than a week, approximately half a million people visited the related websites. This touching response led the creators to decide to deliver an enriched version of the documentary in printed form, which aims to present their views to readers and those who do not have access to the Internet.

The book includes:
- Introduction by Giorgos Delastik with the latest developments in our country and internationally.
- Texts by the creators (Leonidas Vatikiotis, Katerina Kitidi, and Aris Chatzistefanou) in a unified presentation, explaining the specific attempt, analyzing the political content of the project, and emphasizing why people supported this effort so much in practice.
- The script enriched with references to sources and artistic interventions.
- Interviews with distinguished scientists, the so-called unorthodox economic analysts.
- Texts related to the proposal for the creation of an Audit Committee.
- Epilogue with the creators' plans for the immediate future as well as the distant future.
