Peloponnesian War peace treaty[edit]

Should some mention be made of this - even if it was 'an excuse for a municipal junket/media event' (and when did having 'peace treaties and other official end of war announcements' rather than merely 'absence of fighting for sufficiently long for the next bout to be seen as part of a new sequence' come to be seen as a Good Thing?) 86.153.166.116 (talk) 12:20, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Greek Sovereign debt crisis[edit]

If you read the section about the debt crisis you may read: "The possible means of economic stimulation are:" and then only monetary policy recommendations are listed: "Reduce interest rates.", "Devalue its currency. ", "simply printing money". Thinking that the only possible means to stimulate an economy are monetary policies is plain bullshit. I call them the "philosophical money theories", economic theories which state that monetary policy alone can fix the problems of a stagnating or decreasing economy. I think Rationalwiki should not endorse this type of theories. Anyway, I'll wait a while for the opinions of others before changing the content of the page. --87.4.245.117 (talk) 13:25, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Anyone understanding economics[edit]

could write a bit more about the situation now, maybe in the previous 2 years and possible the future? I know i am asking too much but every info is welcomed. — Unsigned, by: 2.87.145.145 / talk / contribs 19:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Minoans[edit]

The reference to the Minoans as greek seems a bit spotty. Not an expert, but my understanding is that they are generally considered pre-Greek like the Pelasgians. I know their language remains undeciphered, but it gives no sign of being Hellenic. Also, their decline should at least contain reference to the Thera explosion and the destruction layers seen.--98.250.177.207 (talk) 15:22, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
