How is that different from other single points of failure, such as Obama, Putin, Angela Merkel, etc., influencing people both within and outside their respective countries?
There is no difference. Because of their extraordinary concentration of power all of these leaders are a source of risk. If they screw up many will suffer both inside and outside their countries.
Greece is at a critical point. I hope Yanis is thoughtful about risks of his government's aggressive tactics and unorthodox economic views.
Some interesting questions are:
- Do the benefits outweigh risks?
- Are there better alternatives?
- Is there a human nature bias to want strong leaders despite risks?
