The Cost of Greece Exiting the Euro

The exit of Greece from the Euro will have a negative financial and economic impact according to the article What would a Greek exit mean for the U.S. economy?  Here is my take on some of the estimated impacts:


  • Private debt default -  $70,000,000,000


  • Public debt default - $460,000,000,000


  • U.S. GDP reduction  - 0.3%


  • Value of $1 - 1,000 Drachma at a minimum


  • Demonstrating again that Keynesian economics doesn't work - Priceless

    • It will be interesting watching whether Greece will eventually exit the Euro despite current claims of not wanting to do so.   I just don't see any possibility of Greece addressing its debt situation another way, despite people with much more authority than me claiming otherwise.

      How does this disprove Keynesian economics?
