Spain did nothing wrong. They lost most of their industry when the Euro was created, and the cost of labor in Spain skyrocketed, and Germany’s plunged. Yes, Greece has endemic problems, but the hyper-free-market solution has never helped anyone.

Look at the Irish Potato Famine for that.

it’s not a case of “hyper free market”, PLL, its that the people of Greece don’t seem willing to make any major changes at all. It’s not like France, where Hollande is taxing the rich but at the same time seeking to reduce unemployment by opening up the labor market. In Greece even talk of such changes sparks riots.
