All the money reflects is the debt and the money is Gone.

Thanks for this article because hunting down the exact detail of how the greek system worked is not easy.

I think that the exact model and mechanism is very important in sortition. If an authority was in control and used sortition it would be easy to rig the randomness and choose who they want. The possibility of this depends on the model.

In this spirit I have constructed my own model, which some may call a stratified model. It probably doesn’t fit in this comment box but return my email if your are interested.

bye
