Season 1, Episode 3 | George Papandreou on the Euro Crisis in Greece

Former Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou takes us back to 2009, when Greece was on the brink of economic collapse due to the European debt crisis. This is a story about sacrifice, difficult choices, and national resilience against imposing odds. Papandreou's account of this volatile period in Greek history goes beyond the day-to-day management of an existential threat to his country. He provides a master class in problem-solving, defending painful choices, and the value of honesty and transparency in government service, even if it means losing an election.
