Simon Johnson: Europe Risks Another Global Depression

Simon Johnson: Europe Risks Another Global Depression

At the end of the meeting yesterday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told reporters, "I just want to underscore they made it clear to us, they the European authorities, that they will manage this [the Greek debt crisis] with great care."

But the Europeans are not being careful -- and it's not just about Greece any more.
