Where is Odysseus? Part 6 - Potential real GDP
As in our previous five monthly blogs, we continue to trace the progress of modern-day Odysseus, who started a long voyage in 2018 to help bring Greece back home to a sustainable and prosperous economy.

The plan that Odysseus had developed in 2018 is described in a book on the macroeconomy of Greece.

Greece needs to re-think natural gas policy, starting with demand
