The German finance minister says he is not optimistic that the European Union and Greece would reach a debt agreement at the meeting in Brussels. Wolfgang Schaeuble accused Athens of acting irresponsibly, saying Greece must fulfill the core conditions of its bailout program. European finance ministers are meeting in Brussels to discuss Greece's demands for change to its bailout program. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the meeting will be difficult and that it's still soon to speak of an agreement. He already declared an end to the austerity program imposed by Greece's creditors: the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank.

Ordo-liberals like German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble insist that enforcing contracts is essential to capitalism, and when applied to financial contracts that means that debt forgiveness is out of the question. They also insist that a prudent government at least runs a balanced budget, and preferably a surplus. However it is easy to show that a pure capitalist economy with neither bankruptcy nor government counter-cyclical spending will collapse into a debt-deflation; and the crisis that began in 2008 is a real-world instance of this tendency. Debt writeoffs are thus essential to the survival of capitalism, and a Modern Debt Jubilee is needed to end the economic and financial crisis.
