Summary / Abstract (Note) | Alexis Tsipras, the leader of [Greece's] opposition Syriza party, said last week that his country was becoming a 'debt colony'. A couple of days later, HernĂ¡n Lorenzino, Argentina's economy minister, used the term 'judicial colonialism' to denounce the US court ruling that his country has to pay in full a group of 'vulture funds' that had held out from the debt restructuring that followed the country's 2002 default. |
