Once very anti-austerity and ready to go up against Brussels, it has since watered down its tactics. Analysing the results via ideological labels is perhaps less important than seeing beyond the political shake-up to the bruised reputation of a very proud people. The Greeks now often feel like unwanted guests at the EU table. Add to this feeling the economic realities: the imposed never-ending austerity, GDP reduced by 30% and nearly wiping out the middle class, and the grim future Greek people face with youth unemployment running at over 60% (28% overall). From the start of <a title=\"More from the Guardian on Greece\" href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/world/greece\">Greece</a>\'s economic crisis, most of the richer EU members were emotional and openly angry, blaming the Greeks for all their woes when in fact it wasn\'t a problem of <em>household</em> private deficit and overspending, but of public sector mismanagement and bad governance. The crisis was the end result of an overly bureaucratic and cumbersome system that became even more bureaucratic because of additional European directives. A lack of transparency facilitated the mishandling of government and public budgeting. What was so much needed was reform and simplification, allowing for transparency to build trust. This is the missing ingredient with the national government, and now EU governance. Ironically the Greeks, in contrast with many other Europeans, have long been pro-integration since the Treaty of Rome in the 1960s. They adopted the euro – putting to rest the drachma, the oldest currency in the western world – with optimism. Compare this reaction with, say, France, where prices are still printed in both euros and old French francs. And when the troika of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF arrived in Athens to help the country put its financial house in order, they were widely welcomed. Most Greeks believed the troika could fix a broken system. Instead, Greece\'s \"bail-out\" packages, initially at high interest rates, were perceived clearly to be only money transfers for the Greek state to pay back its debt. Persistent austerity and fiscal measures eroded further some of the healthy forms of governance that remained (police and judiciary included). This allowed for the rise of the far-right ultra-nationalist Golden Dawn, especially in urban centres. Not surprisingly, then, the troika\'s welcome was short-lived. Those who are suffering the consequences of bad governance and politics are the middle class, the low-income earners, the pensioners receiving just ¤600 a month and now unable to cover their basic needs. They feel insecure and unprotected. Meanwhile, those who took advantage of the old ways of bad governance seem not to be touched that much. In short, the euphoric pro-European mood soured and turned into a silent vote of dissatisfaction and a clear: \"Thank you, EU, but no thank you.\" What did for the EU in the elections is the serious lack of leadership it has shown in tough times. The euro crisis, for instance, was persistently not seen as such, but blamed as a Greek crisis for its first three years. More specifically, the stubborn unwillingness of Brussels to use its powers to make quick decisions and avoid the spreading of the crisis constituted a supreme error. Instead, decisions were offloaded on to the national parliaments. The same parliaments were never asked to approve European subsidies on common agricultural policy or regional harmonisation policy. The reality was a non-handling of the crisis. We observed the lack of any leadership and responsibility. This created two very different forms of punishment. The first, from the markets, spread the euro crisis and credit \"downgrading\" of several countries, including France (the second pillar of the Union with Germany). The second punishment, carried by grassroots anger, came from the people, demanding a change of the EU, as seen in last month\'s elections So, in the case of Greece, this is a response to the blind following of austerity which prolonged recession and created a great depression – as well as producing greater inequalities and making a recovery difficult to see. In the north (France, Germany, Austria), the Eurosceptics are gaining for different reasons. The people are tired of being asked to give more to the south and to those \"lazy and irresponsible Greeks\" especially since they have their own domestic issues to address. Leaders are asked to take brave decisions – these still haven\'t been taken in Europe, and quite frankly I do not think they will be taken soon because Europe has become a big bureaucratic elephant with a life of its own. Large entities like this are not known for their ability to be flexible or adapt to the reality on the ground. I fear things will become worse before they start getting better. A growing number of Greeks and other Europeans are now tired. They do not see any light at the end of the tunnel. Positive political statements about the end of the crisis mean very little to them. In general, the EU has disappointed the Greeks. Instead of making decisions, the EU postponed them. There was a lot of talk, endless meetings in Brussels; kicking the can down the road every time only prolonged the pain. This created anger, discontent and impatience. Europe is no longer the club of the elite (De Gaulle and Adenauer, Mitterrand and Kohl) and these elections made it clear. Last month\'s vote reflects this change. The bottom line is that the euro crisis game was played out in Greece, and the European vision has been lost in Brussels. <em>Elena Panaritis is an economist who has worked at the World Bank and was a Pasok member of the Greek parliament from 2009 until 2012</em></div>','Elena Panaritis \"Bruised and confused: why Greeks voted against the gods of Europe\" (The Guardian)','','publish','open','open','','elena-panaritis-bruised-and-confused-why-greeks-voted-against-the-gods-of-europe-the-guardian','','','2014-10-23 13:34:49','2014-10-23 13:34:49','',0,'http://www.thoughtforaction.org/?p=1826',0,'post','',1),

If the center wavers, Europe’s great project may fall apart.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"1559\" data-para-count=\"675\">The drama playing out in Greece over the past four years may hold useful lessons for Europe. Not every vote lost by the center is a vote against the Union. In Sunday’s election, a coalition of the remnants of the two pro-European Union parties that dominated the Greek political center for decades was hit by a pincer movement from left and right. Syriza, a radical left party, won the most votes (26.6 percent), while the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn finished third, with 9.4 percent. The senior coalition partner, the center-right New Democracy, won 22.7 percent, while its junior partner, the center-left Pasok (running as part of the “Olive Tree” alliance), got 8 percent.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"2022\" data-para-count=\"463\">This confirmed opinion polls that Syriza was the party with the strongest support since national elections in June 2012. Syriza is opposed to the austerity program imposed on Greece in 2010 but is not anti-European Union. Golden Dawn is against austerity but also strongly against the European Union. The two parties represent the often bloody historical divide between Greece’s left and right and would never agree on anything besides attacking the government.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"2370\" data-para-count=\"348\">Greece is not the first country to witness a protest movement against economic austerity, nor the first where xenophobic extremists have made their presence felt. But nowhere have the two extremes grown so influential so quickly, as formerly fringe groups fed off voters’ anger and insecurity and wore down the credibility of mainstream parties.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"2882\" data-para-count=\"512\">In national elections in 2009, before the crisis, Syriza won just 4.6 percent of the vote, while Golden Dawn barely registered, with 0.3 percent (just 19,624 votes). But their recent strong showing, and the coalition government’s weakening, suggests that if these had been national elections the results would have rendered Greece ungovernable, as no party could have formed a viable coalition with any like-minded group. With the economy still on life support, such political instability would be devastating.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"3554\" data-para-count=\"672\">The popularity of extremist groups not only undermines the political system’s cohesion but also threatens their own future: Thrilled by the success of their simplistic rejection of the state of things, these parties are unwilling or unable to compromise. They will either remain on the fringe or tear themselves apart. It’s the existence of a government with unpopular policies that in part empowers them.

Not every vote lost by the center is a vote against the Union. In Sunday’s election, a coalition of the remnants of the two pro-European Union parties that dominated the Greek political center for decades was hit by a pincer movement from left and right. Syriza, a radical left party, won the most votes (26.6 percent), while the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn finished third, with 9.4 percent. The senior coalition partner, the center-right New Democracy, won 22.7 percent, while its junior partner, the center-left Pasok (running as part of the “Olive Tree” alliance), got 8 percent.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"2022\" data-para-count=\"463\">This confirmed opinion polls that Syriza was the party with the strongest support since national elections in June 2012. Syriza is opposed to the austerity program imposed on Greece in 2010 but is not anti-European Union. Golden Dawn is against austerity but also strongly against the European Union. The two parties represent the often bloody historical divide between Greece’s left and right and would never agree on anything besides attacking the government.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"2370\" data-para-count=\"348\">Greece is not the first country to witness a protest movement against economic austerity, nor the first where xenophobic extremists have made their presence felt. But nowhere have the two extremes grown so influential so quickly, as formerly fringe groups fed off voters’ anger and insecurity and wore down the credibility of mainstream parties.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"2882\" data-para-count=\"512\">In national elections in 2009, before the crisis, Syriza won just 4.6 percent of the vote, while Golden Dawn barely registered, with 0.3 percent (just 19,624 votes). But their recent strong showing, and the coalition government’s weakening, suggests that if these had been national elections the results would have rendered Greece ungovernable, as no party could have formed a viable coalition with any like-minded group. With the economy still on life support, such political instability would be devastating.</p>\r\n<p class=\"story-body-text story-content\" data-total-count=\"3554\" data-para-count=\"672\">The popularity of extremist groups not only undermines the political system’s cohesion but also threatens their own future: Thrilled by the success of their simplistic rejection of the state of things, these parties are unwilling or unable to compromise. They will either remain on the fringe or tear themselves apart. It’s the existence of a government with unpopular policies that in part empowers them. After six years of recession and four years of austerity in Greece, Syriza has been unable to break through the ceiling of 26.9 percent that it won in 2012, while the coalition has not fallen so far as to make governing untenable.

She pioneered the concept of a fiscal responsibility law, introducing NZ’s Fiscal Responsibility Act that has become a world-wide benchmark.

Both types of entrepreneurship involve creating a conducive environment allowing us to tap into the endless opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship within a crisis. In both cases, success depends on imagination, timing, creativity, and a keen awareness of the market at hand. \r\n\r\nTune in to listen to Elena explore some inspirational turnaround stories both on a national and entrepreneurial framework from New Zealand, Chile and the US and learn about the foolproof ingredients of economic success and resilience. Throughout the course of these interviews Elena effectively spells out some of the golden rules of reform distilled from the combined wisdom and experience of the participants and clearly illustrates that while the domain is different, the issues are not dissimilar.\r\n\r\nHowever talk about the need for reform is one thing; the courage, the determination and the skill to press ahead is another. Having been through the fire of structural reform herself, Elena met with two extraordinary female politicians, ‘change makers in action’ who shared their story on the how they were able to effect extraordinary and unprecedented change to their countries, particularly NZ and Chile.  Indeed both Ruth Richardson and Ena von Baer share a prominent track record for initiating and managing successful structural reform.\r\n\r\n	<li>Ruth Richardson	Former Minister of Finance, NZ</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>Ena von Baer   		Journalist, political scientist and senator, Chile</li>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe event series kick off interview is with the remarkable Ruth Richardson. Ruth established her reform reputation during her tenure as New Zealand\'s Minister of Finance from 1990 - 1993 and is considered the principal architect of New Zealand\'s second wave of reform. Since her exit from politics she has met extensive international demand to learn from the radical NZ reform model.\r\nTune in for  Ruth’s insider account re the institutional framework for the conduct of fiscal policy (the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994), which is since widely regarded as setting international best practice, and is a cornerstone of New Zealand\'s economic framework.\r\n\r\n\r\nIt is of interest to watch Ena’s  vivid narrative on the ‘’Miracle of Chile” ,  the neoliberal and free market reorientation of the economy of Chile in the 1980s and the benefits of economic liberalism. Indeed she highlights the importance of how the free markets worked their way in bringing about a free society.\r\n\r\nElena also met with the young albeit inspiring founders of FundElevator who ardently claim that ‘changing the World’ doesn\'t have to be hard, naive, or impractical. Mickey and James don\'t believe in waiting on the world to change but rather becoming the change we wish to see in the world. Indeed they urge us to take action as there is nothing stopping each and every one of us from making a real and lasting impact on our world and the lives of others.\r\n\r\nMickey Costa		Co Founders of FundElevator.com, USA\r\nJames Schulae\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<strong>KEYNOTE SPEAKER BIOS</strong>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<strong>Ruth Richardson</strong>	</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\nCombining political, economic, strategic and presentational expertise and drawing upon her noted success in NZ turnaround story, Ruth Richardson offers an insight into the positive development of economies at all levels.\r\nRuth Richardson is best known as New Zealand’s Minister of Finance from 1990 to 1993.  She spent her early career advising NZ Government on law reform and later worked for NZ Federated Farmers helping them become a leading advocate of structural reform and the deregulation of the NZ economy. \r\nAs Minister of Finance Ruth inherited an economy in a deep recession, a budget forecast to blow out massively and a credit downgrade from an international credit rating agency. Within six weeks of taking office, she presented to Parliament \"The Economic and Social Policy Initiative\", outlining specific initiatives and policies to reverse the previous downward trend in the economy. \r\nRuth was responsible for the privatisation of many previously government owned organisations and New Zealand certainly reaped the rewards of her well designed programme of economic reforms. She pioneered the concept of a fiscal responsibility law, introducing NZ’s Fiscal Responsibility Act that has become a world-wide benchmark. In 2011 Ruth launched the Kiwi Innovation Network (KiwiNet), a group which aims to commercialise the ideas that brew in laboratories and lecture rooms to get them making money out in the real world.\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<strong>Ena von Baer</strong></ul>\r\n\r\n                                                                                                                                                    Member of the Chilean Senate; former minister of communications to president Sebastian Piñera; former head of political and social program at Liberty & Development Institute; political scientist and former journalist.\r\nJames Schuler, USA\r\nCo-founder and CTO of FundElevator.com, a crowd-sourcing platform to support causes and politicians; creator of Eligible, a platform to help healthcare companies engage in financial transactions; Y-Combinator graduate; Peter Thiel “20 Under 20” Fellow 2013\r\n\r\nMickey Costa, USA\r\nCo-founder and CEO of FundElevator.com, a crowd-sourcing platform to support causes and politicians.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\nNEW ZEALAND</ul>\r\n\r\n\r\nRuth Richardson was appointed New Zealand Minister of Finance in November 1990. She inherited an economy in a deep recession, a budget forecast to blow out massively and a credit downgrade from an international credit rating agency.\r\nDuring the remarkable reform era in New Zealand from the mid-1980\'s to the mid-1990\'s, Ruth established her reform reputation. As New Zealand\'s Minister of Finance from 1990 - 1993 she was the principal architect of New Zealand\'s second wave of reform, complementing the first wave of reforms initiated in the mid 1980s by New Zealand\'s other well-known Minister of Finance, Sir Roger Douglas. \r\n\r\nTune in to explore her institutional framework for the conduct of fiscal policy, the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994, which is widely regarded as setting international best practice, and is a cornerstone of New Zealand\'s economic framework. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Νέα διαδραστική εκδήλωση T4A στο πολυσυνεδριακό Forum“Money Show”</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><b>ΜΥΘΟΙ ΚΑΙ ΑΛΗΘΕΙΕΣ\r\n</b><b>ΓΙΑ ΤΗ ΛΥΣΗ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΚΡΙΣΗ</b></h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><b> Κυριακή 22 Δεκεμβρίου Ώρα: 14:00-16:00\r\n</b><b>Ξενοδοχείο </b><b>Hilton</b><b> - Αθηνα</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><b> Αίθουσα Σαντορίνη 1</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ελάτε να ακουστεί η δική σας φωνή με φυσική παρουσία ή online,<b> </b><b>thoughtforaction.org / <a href=\"http://www.skepsigiadrasi.gr/\">skepsigiadrasi.gr</a>  twitter: #t4actionGRCRISIS </b>μαζί με τους: <b></b></p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Γιώργου Σταθάκη - Οικονομολόγος/Βουλευτής Χανίων ΣΥΡΙΖΑ</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Γιάννη Βλαχογιάννη - Αρχιτέκτονας Software / Serial Entrepreneur,</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Έλενας Παναρίτη - Θεσμική Οικονομολόγος / Κοινωνική Επιχειρηματίας</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Γιώργου Μοσχόβη - Αντιπρόσωπος της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής στην Κύπρο.</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Παναγιώτη Καρκατσούλη - Καθηγητής Εθνικής Σχολής Δημόσιας Διοίκησης<b>       </b></li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Πάνου Παπάζογλου - Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος Ernst&amp;Young Hellas S.A</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Παύλος Τσίμας - Συντονιστής\r\nΘέλουμε, την ουσιαστική και δυναμική συμμετοχή σας.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Η συζήτηση για την κρίση και για τους τρόπους εξόδου από αυτήν έχει γίνει καθημερινό μας βίωμα.

It is fair to state that the country managed to completely reverse its key socio economic indicators, overcoming a staggering poverty rate and extreme poverty rate to name a few.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Peru has been one of the best performing economies in Latin America during the past decade. This is the result of prudent macroeconomic policies and a favorable external environment. Peru‘s GDP growth has been significant from a regional and historical perspective, averaging 6.3 percent between 2002 and 2010. This strong economic performance enabled a continuous recovery of Peru‘s income per capita, which increased by more than 50 percent during the decade, after almost 30 years of stagnation. The effects of strong growth on employment and incomes have yielded an important decline in poverty rates and, for the first time, a small decline in inequality (Source: World Bank estimates).</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Indeed Peru has made great strides in its development. Its achievements include high growth rates, low inflation, macroeconomic stability, reduction of external debt and poverty and significant advances in social and development indicators. Since the early 1990s, the country has embarked on a series of reforms of which fiscal consolidation, trade openness, exchange rate flexibility, financial liberalization, higher reliance on market signals and prudent monetary policy, including a strong buildup of reserves, have been key components.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tune in to witness the next chapter in Peru’s economic evolution and political reforms from the emergence of the middle class to a more sophisticated manufacturing sector and large scale infrastructure advances. <!--more-->With insights from three national leaders of fiscal policy, political reform and the entrepreneurial industry, this series of events (video interviews) clearly illustrates that countries struck by severe financial crisis can indeed rise from the ashes. Elena Panaritis ushers us through Peru’s path from poverty to empowerment and allows us to rethink the ingredients of successful national turn around stories. Further the series reflects on the investment environment and the talent the country needed to forge ahead.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are honored to have three of the key players in Peru reform success story join us including:</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Clemente Jaime Yoshiyama Tanaka</strong> is a Japanese Peruvian and Fujimorist politician. He was the president of the Democratic Constitutional Congress. He was also the Minister of the Presidency under Alberto Fujimori.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Roberto Abusada</strong> is one of the leading authorities on Peru’s economic and financial development. In addition to key roles in the government and the Central Bank during Peru’s transformational decades, he founded the Instituto Peruano de Economia (IPE), one of the most important think-tanks in Peru.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Manuel F. Sotomayor</strong> a local industry leading figure and President of Sotomayor S.A, one of the main companies in the fishing sector. He was special representative of the President of Peru from 1999 to 2001. From 1998 to 1999, he was President of CONFIEP the national confederation that groups Peruvian business associations and was elected “Business man of the Year” by “America Economía\" magazine in 1992.</p>\r\n\r\n<table style=\"width: 80%;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td> <a href=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru1.png\"><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru1.png\" alt=\"Peru1\" width=\"423\" height=\"272\" /></a></td>\r\n<td> <a href=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru2.png\"><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru2.png\" alt=\"Peru2\" width=\"423\" height=\"272\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td> <a href=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru3.png\"><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru3.png\" alt=\"Peru3\" width=\"423\" height=\"272\" /></a></td>\r\n<td> <a href=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru4.png\"><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Peru4.png\" alt=\"Peru4\" width=\"423\" height=\"272\" /></a></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"></p>','EXPLORING PERU’S SUCCESS STORY','','inherit','open','open','','1866-revision-v1','','','2014-10-22 21:16:28','2014-10-22 21:16:28','',1866,'http://www.thoughtforaction.org/1866-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),

Indeed she highlights the importance of how the free markets worked their way in bringing about a free society.\r\n\r\nElena also met with the young albeit inspiring founders of FundElevator who ardently claim that ‘changing the World’ doesn\'t have to be hard, naive, or impractical.

She spent her early career advising NZ Government on law reform and later worked for NZ Federated Farmers helping them become a leading advocate of structural reform and the deregulation of the NZ economy.\r\nAs Minister of Finance Ruth inherited an economy in a deep recession, a budget forecast to blow out massively and a credit downgrade from an international credit rating agency. Within six weeks of taking office, she presented to Parliament \"The Economic and Social Policy Initiative\", outlining specific initiatives and policies to reverse the previous downward trend in the economy.\r\nRuth was responsible for the privatisation of many previously government owned organisations and New Zealand certainly reaped the rewards of her well designed programme of economic reforms. She pioneered the concept of a fiscal responsibility law, introducing NZ’s Fiscal Responsibility Act that has become a world-wide benchmark.

Ruth established her reform reputation during her tenure as New Zealand\'s Minister of Finance from 1990 - 1993 and is considered the principal architect of New Zealand\'s second wave of reform. Since her exit from politics she has met extensive international demand to learn from the radical NZ reform model.\r\nTune in for Ruth’s insider account re the institutional framework for the conduct of fiscal policy (the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994), which is since widely regarded as setting international best practice, and is a cornerstone of New Zealand\'s economic framework.\r\n\r\nIt is of interest to watch Ena’s vivid narrative on the ‘’Miracle of Chile” , the neoliberal and free market reorientation of the economy of Chile in the 1980s and the benefits of economic liberalism. Indeed she highlights the importance of how the free markets worked their way in bringing about a free society.\r\n\r\nElena also met with the young albeit inspiring founders of FundElevator who ardently claim that ‘changing the World’ doesn\'t have to be hard, naive, or impractical. Mickey and James don\'t believe in waiting on the world to change but rather becoming the change we wish to see in the world.

Both types of entrepreneurship involve creating a conducive environment allowing us to tap into the endless opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship within a crisis. In both cases, success depends on imagination, timing, creativity, and a keen awareness of the market at hand.\r\n\r\nTune in to listen to Elena explore some inspirational turnaround stories both on a national and entrepreneurial framework from New Zealand, Chile and the US and learn about the foolproof ingredients of economic success and resilience. Throughout the course of these interviews Elena effectively spells out some of the golden rules of reform distilled from the combined wisdom and experience of the participants and clearly illustrates that while the domain is different, the issues are not dissimilar.\r\n\r\nHowever talk about the need for reform is one thing; the courage, the determination and the skill to press ahead is another. Having been through the fire of structural reform herself, Elena met with two extraordinary female politicians, ‘change makers in action’ who shared their story on the how they were able to effect extraordinary and unprecedented change to their countries, particularly NZ and Chile. Indeed both Ruth Richardson and Ena von Baer share a prominent track record for initiating and managing successful structural reform.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Ruth Richardson Former Minister of Finance, NZ</li>\r\n	<li>Ena von Baer Journalist, political scientist and senator, Chile</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe event series kick off interview is with the remarkable Ruth Richardson. Ruth established her reform reputation during her tenure as New Zealand\'s Minister of Finance from 1990 - 1993 and is considered the principal architect of New Zealand\'s second wave of reform. Since her exit from politics she has met extensive international demand to learn from the radical NZ reform model.\r\nTune in for Ruth’s insider account re the institutional framework for the conduct of fiscal policy (the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994), which is since widely regarded as setting international best practice, and is a cornerstone of New Zealand\'s economic framework.\r\n\r\nIt is of interest to watch Ena’s vivid narrative on the ‘’Miracle of Chile” , the neoliberal and free market reorientation of the economy of Chile in the 1980s and the benefits of economic liberalism. Indeed she highlights the importance of how the free markets worked their way in bringing about a free society.\r\n\r\nElena also met with the young albeit inspiring founders of FundElevator who ardently claim that ‘changing the World’ doesn\'t have to be hard, naive, or impractical. Mickey and James don\'t believe in waiting on the world to change but rather becoming the change we wish to see in the world. Indeed they urge us to take action as there is nothing stopping each and every one of us from making a real and lasting impact on our world and the lives of others.\r\n\r\nMickey Costa Co Founders of FundElevator.com, USA\r\nJames Schulae\r\n\r\n<strong>KEYNOTE SPEAKER BIOS</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Ruth Richardson</strong>\r\n\r\nCombining political, economic, strategic and presentational expertise and drawing upon her noted success in NZ turnaround story, Ruth Richardson offers an insight into the positive development of economies at all levels.\r\nRuth Richardson is best known as New Zealand’s Minister of Finance from 1990 to 1993. She spent her early career advising NZ Government on law reform and later worked for NZ Federated Farmers helping them become a leading advocate of structural reform and the deregulation of the NZ economy.\r\nAs Minister of Finance Ruth inherited an economy in a deep recession, a budget forecast to blow out massively and a credit downgrade from an international credit rating agency. Within six weeks of taking office, she presented to Parliament \"The Economic and Social Policy Initiative\", outlining specific initiatives and policies to reverse the previous downward trend in the economy.\r\nRuth was responsible for the privatisation of many previously government owned organisations and New Zealand certainly reaped the rewards of her well designed programme of economic reforms. She pioneered the concept of a fiscal responsibility law, introducing NZ’s Fiscal Responsibility Act that has become a world-wide benchmark. In 2011 Ruth launched the Kiwi Innovation Network (KiwiNet), a group which aims to commercialise the ideas that brew in laboratories and lecture rooms to get them making money out in the real world.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ena von Baer</strong>\r\n\r\nMember of the Chilean Senate; former minister of communications to president Sebastian Piñera; former head of political and social program at Liberty &amp; Development Institute; political scientist and former journalist.\r\nJames Schuler, USA\r\nCo-founder and CTO of FundElevator.com, a crowd-sourcing platform to support causes and politicians; creator of Eligible, a platform to help healthcare companies engage in financial transactions; Y-Combinator graduate; Peter Thiel “20 Under 20” Fellow 2013\r\n\r\nMickey Costa, USA\r\nCo-founder and CEO of FundElevator.com, a crowd-sourcing platform to support causes and politicians.\r\n<ul>NEW ZEALAND</ul>\r\nRuth Richardson was appointed New Zealand Minister of Finance in November 1990. She inherited an economy in a deep recession, a budget forecast to blow out massively and a credit downgrade from an international credit rating agency.\r\nDuring the remarkable reform era in New Zealand from the mid-1980\'s to the mid-1990\'s, Ruth established her reform reputation. As New Zealand\'s Minister of Finance from 1990 - 1993 she was the principal architect of New Zealand\'s second wave of reform, complementing the first wave of reforms initiated in the mid 1980s by New Zealand\'s other well-known Minister of Finance, Sir Roger Douglas.\r\n\r\nTune in to explore her institutional framework for the conduct of fiscal policy, the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994, which is widely regarded as setting international best practice, and is a cornerstone of New Zealand\'s economic framework.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Νέα διαδραστική εκδήλωση T4A στο πολυσυνεδριακό Forum“Money Show”</p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><b>ΜΥΘΟΙ ΚΑΙ ΑΛΗΘΕΙΕΣ\r\n</b><b>ΓΙΑ ΤΗ ΛΥΣΗ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΚΡΙΣΗ</b></h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><b> Κυριακή 22 Δεκεμβρίου Ώρα: 14:00-16:00\r\n</b><b>Ξενοδοχείο </b><b>Hilton</b><b> - Αθηνα</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><b> Αίθουσα Σαντορίνη 1</b></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ελάτε να ακουστεί η δική σας φωνή με φυσική παρουσία ή online,<b> </b><b>thoughtforaction.org / <a href=\"http://www.skepsigiadrasi.gr/\">skepsigiadrasi.gr</a>  twitter: #t4actionGRCRISIS </b>μαζί με τους: <b></b></p>\r\n\r\n<ul style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Γιώργου Σταθάκη - Οικονομολόγος/Βουλευτής Χανίων ΣΥΡΙΖΑ</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Γιάννη Βλαχογιάννη - Αρχιτέκτονας Software / Serial Entrepreneur,</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Έλενας Παναρίτη - Θεσμική Οικονομολόγος / Κοινωνική Επιχειρηματίας</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Γιώργου Μοσχόβη - Αντιπρόσωπος της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής στην Κύπρο.</li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Παναγιώτη Καρκατσούλη - Καθηγητής Εθνικής Σχολής Δημόσιας Διοίκησης<b>       </b></li>\r\n	<li style=\"text-align: center;\">Πάνου Παπάζογλου - Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος Ernst&amp;Young Hellas S.A</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Παύλος Τσίμας - Συντονιστής\r\nΘέλουμε, την ουσιαστική και δυναμική συμμετοχή σας.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Η συζήτηση για την κρίση και για τους τρόπους εξόδου από αυτήν έχει γίνει καθημερινό μας βίωμα.
