Instead it immediately coopted the system, undoing feeble reforms and stuffing the administration with its own followers. The private sector would surge ahead if the suffocating blanket of state sponsored corruption was removed by downsizing the public sector.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27932062.post-53264772762417932552015-07-13T17:43:43.616+00:002015-07-13T17:43:43.616+00:00Europe's throwing good money after bad.
