    That could trigger capital controls and possibly push Greece out of the euro zone, with unpredictable consequences for financial markets and the European economy.

What does it mean to remove a country from the Euro Zone? What's going to happen to the people of Greece when they suddenly have literally nothing?

I'm worried for all the minorities - We've already seen Neo Nazis gaining power and influence in Greece on the back of this austerity movement, and the situation is starting to look really familiar. I'm not saying that this will absolutely be the case, but I see echoes and it worries me a lot. I hope I'm wrong.
