Forgive me if I'm just being rhetorical here, but it looks to me like all the headlines about how the latest bailout of Greece enables the country to avoid default have it wrong. Greece is defaulting on its sovereign debt, and that's a good, as in "necessary," thing.

Greece's elected politicians have plunged the country into a spiral of decline. Is there anybody on earth who seriously believes that austerity will restore the prosperity of Greece? Equally ludicrous is the idea that there is no alternative.
