The Takeaway

The Greek Finance Ministry said  talks resumed last night between the country and international leaders, on a way to loan cash to Greece by mid-October and save it from defaulting.

Constantine Michalos, head of the Athens Chamber of Commerce, and Louise Story, Wall Street and finance reporter for  The New York Times, speculate on Greece’s financial future.
