The Rise and Decline of Greece

The Rise and Decline of Nations is an innovative book in which, develops nine implications of the action of interest groups [1]. Also is including empirical studies of countries whose confirm Olson's theory of the sclerotic effects. Greece from 1974 onwards, when its state stabilized, the course of its economy reaches the highest point in 2008 and then follows the fall that brings it to the brink of bankruptcy in 2012 and further decline in 2015. The purpose of this study is to point out that, back from this route is hidden the action of interest groups, just as Mancur Olson describes it in his theory. Therefore, in this paper, the implications of the action of interest groups on the Greek economy are studied, as mentioned in Olson’s theory.
