ABSTRACT
Chapter 7, ‘The Social and Political Problems Behind the Socio-Economic Crisis’, provides some interesting indications of teachers’ thoughts on the social and political problems that underlie the current crisis and on the possible responses that they believe necessary to address and counter them. The chapter is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on the social and political problems—pertaining to governments, the Greek people and global capitalism—which the teachers identified as being at the root of the crisis. Section two moves on to discuss the possible responses, including political change, changes in the behaviour, values and mentality of Greek people and struggle and resistance against the policies of the recession, that teachers think Greece needs in order to fight the problems that led the country into the current socio-economic crisis.
