The political feasibility of economic adjustment programs

You're gonna love this, I know I did...
It's an article by OECD, dating back to 1996, concerning the political management of economic adjustment programs, full of best practices wisdom gained during the imposition and implementation of such programs in Africa and South America...
I can't find much in this article that doesn't inform, right to the tiniest of details, the practices, the strategy and the tactics of the Government of George Papandreou since elected in 2009...
Looks like a carbon-copy almost or a post-description of political developments in Greece in Europe in recent years
It must be kind of like the "political marketing for dummies" manual of present day governments...
I knew, I could deduce, that political thought, vision and sincerity had left the ruling party politicians around the western world, but this just goes a long way to demonstrate the prevalence of marketing over politics
Just read it
