    Easy to read. I better understood what we experienced from 2019-2025 and the aftermath of previous years. I found it so interesting that I read it in 3-4 days. I really liked Alexis Patelis' writing style. I recommend the book to every citizen of the country so they can see the multitude and variety of problems that arose in addition to the existing ones and how they were dealt with. How a country reduced the public debt to GDP ratio from 205% to 154% in 5 years. How the country withstood external risks and how it anticipated and neutralized internal threats that would have paralyzed the country once again. And in general, how in these 5 years something happened, and for something to keep happening, small and steady steps are needed, because unfortunately there are no simple solutions to complex problems.

    Very informative, pleasantly readable, it shows the great effort that was made for the country to reach such remarkable levels today. It can also be used as a reminder of WHAT WE SHOULD NOT DO in order not to relive bad moments!

Description & Specifications

Shortlisted for the public vote at the Skroutz Book Awards 2026.

How do you rebuild the credibility of a country that came to the brink of collapse?

Alexis Patelis, Chief Economic Adviser to the Prime Minister (2019–2024), recounts Greece’s “great comeback” from the inside: from capital controls and international skepticism, when the country was on the verge of international ostracism, to regaining investment-grade status. Through behind-the-scenes accounts from London, New York and Davos, he reveals the story behind a journey that once again made us proud of Greece abroad.

Amid the pandemic, international turmoil and natural disasters, we follow the country’s gradual transformation from an international outcast into a trusted investment destination. A book about the ideas, people, successes and mistakes that shaped a historic five-year period—and a firsthand account of how markets are won over through consistent, steady performance.

Without glossing over the truth, but with the conviction that “Greece can do it,” this is the compelling perspective of a technocrat who witnessed historic events from the inside—and answers the question posed by the international press: “How did you do it?”

What people are saying about the book:

I am certain that this book will become one of the building blocks of our country’s modern economic history. – Yannis Stournaras

A juicy, fascinating narrative that reads like a movie. – Aris Dimokidis

Why Read It:

  • The personal account of a unique journey: from the crisis and capital controls to the regaining of investment grade and the international restoration of Greece’s credibility.
  • The perspective of a person at the center of developments, with personal experience and access to behind-the-scenes events, written like an action adventure.
  • A book that combines current affairs with history, shedding light at the same time on how the economy and markets work and showing, beyond the grandiloquent claims, how a country can truly earn the trust of the international community.
