The MGSA wishes to express its sincere gratitude for the support received from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports. We also wish to thank the following donors for their very generous financial support of the Symposium. Dr. Stefanos Tsolakidis (Athens), the Hellenic Heritage Foundation (Toronto), and Hellenic Link-‐Midwest gave generously to the Graduate Student Travel Fund. Additional funds came from several MGSA members: Sakis Gekas, Brian Joseph, Neovi Karakatsanis, Christopher Kinley, and Artemis Leontis. A gift from the Rifkin Family Foundation and Mr. Rick and Mrs. Soula Rifkin made possible the Rebetiki Istoria concert. Additional gifts came from Dr. Elaine and Dr. Kevin Coghlan, Topo’s 403 (Mrs. Stephanie Topolgus and Dr. James and Mrs. Cheryl Topolgus), Dr. George and Mrs. Demetra Bakris, and the National Hellenic Society. The Symposium also benefited from contributions to Modern Greek Studies at Indiana University by Dr. Ted and Mrs. Bess Megremis, Mrs. Jocelyn Bowie and Mr. David Semmel, and Mr. Ray and Mrs. Joyce Leonard. The Johns Hopkins University Press, publisher of the Journal of Modern Greek Studies, is generously providing coffee and tea breaks.

One of them was to push small, inconsequential Greece onto the front pages of the world’s leading newspapers and make it a permanent feature in the nightmares of peoples and policy-‐makers world-‐wide. Another was to create a new category of economist, fashioned by the global media: the "Greek economist." This talk is to be delivered by one such person who never thought of himself as a Greek economist and who, despite his portrayal by the media as an “expert,” has never stopped saying that economists, independently of their intelligence or personal ethics, belong to a sinister priesthood purveying thinly disguised (and heavily mathematized) superstition as scientific economics.

In Memoriam Richard Burgi, July 26, 2012 Mary Stathatos-‐Kyris Keeley, Oct. 25, 2012 Peter Loizos, March 2, 2012
MISSION Founded in 1968, the MGSA is an American-‐based, non-‐profit organization dedicated to the promotion of Modern Greek Studies in the United States and Canada. Interdisciplinary in orientation, it seeks to stimulate the discovery and diffusion of knowledge about the language, literature, arts, history, politics, economy, and society of modern Greece and Cyprus and their diasporas. The MGSA defines its scope broadly to include not only post-‐independence Greece but also the period of Ottoman rule and the later Byzantine Empire, as well as those aspects of early Byzantine, Hellenistic, and Classical times that have a bearing on the modern Greek world. MGSA members: please take the time to update your faculty profile at http://mgsa.org/faculty/1factemplate.html. The MGSA welcomes new members and especially graduate students to the field.
