Mark Dragoumis, author of "The Greek Economy", selects 32 enlightening pieces from Analyse This, popular weekly column for the "Athens News". With his characteristic wit, pathos and unsparing commentary, Dragoumis sits Greece on the couch to probe into its daily workings and unworkings. On the road to healing the nation, uncovers Greece's deep-seated idiosyncracies: why employers call in tips on the whereabouts of illegal immigrants only on Fridays: why Greeks covet civil service appointments and shun jobs in the private sector; and why the old PASOK should be out of its misery; and why the Virgin Mary is so popular.
