If things are so bad, shouldn’t Greece just leave the eurozone?
At the height of the debt crisis a few years ago, many experts worried that
Greece’s problems would spill over into the rest of the world. If Greece
defaulted on its debt and exited the eurozone, it could create global
financial shocks bigger than the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Some people argue that if Greece were to leave the currency union now, it
wouldn’t be such a catastrophe. Europe has put up safeguards to limit the
financial contagion, in an effort to keep the problems from spreading to
other countries. Greece, just a tiny part of the eurozone economy, could
regain financial autonomy with its own economy, these people contend — and
the eurozone would actually be better off without a country that seems to
constantly need its neighbors’ support.
Others say that’s too simplistic a view. European leaders still haven’t
fixed some of the biggest shortcomings of the eurozone’s structure by
creating a more federal-style system of transferring money as needed among
members – the way the United States does among its various states. They
also worry that if Greece were to default and leave the eurozone, it could
ignite turmoil in the financial markets that might stall the budding
recovery in Europe and impede the United States’ rebound.
