Associate Professor of Sociology at the New York City College of
Technology of the City University of New York. He is also the author of
Remaking Scarcity: From Capitalist Inefficiency to Economic Democracy.
The dominant schools of neoclassical and neoliberal economics tell us
that material scarcity is an inevitable product of an insatiable human
nature. Against this, Costas Panayotakis argues that scarcity is in fact
a result of the social and economic processes of the capitalist system.
Panayotakis says: "Today's general strike in Greece forms part of the large wave
of anti-austerity resistance currently sweeping the countries of Southern
Europe. Days after the Portuguese government had to take back part of its
austerity program in response to massive popular demonstrations against its
policies and one day after the Spanish government used violence and rubber
bullets to repress anti-austerity demonstrators in Madrid, today's strike
paralyzed much of the Greek economy and brought to the streets hundreds of
thousands of workers and ordinary citizens in large demonstrations
throughout the country. These demonstrations are only the beginning of
resistance against a new wave of austerity measures which the new
conservative-led coalition is planning and which goes against the
pre-election promises that the coalition partners made just a few months
ago. As austerity has led to a deep economic depression and skyrocketing
unemployment and misery in Greece, recent polls show that the vast majority
of Greeks consider the measures currently planned as socially unjust and
especially burdensome to the poor. As the measures are presented to the
Greek parliament in coming weeks, popular resistance is therefore likely to
escalate, thus also challenging the stability of the shaky conservative-led
coalition currently in power.
