Being a greek and living in greece, I believe that our economy is definitely based on tourism. There is no heavy industry and our agricultural exports are not important comparing to tourism..besides the mastic from chios, safran from kozani, feta and some other products that are only produced in greece, are protected and exported all over the world.\nnow as it conserns tourism, all our efforts are focused there. the olympics, football euro 2004, even the eurovision contest are elements used from the government to show greece abroad and advertise what we have to sell. the country's beauty, islands, sun etc etc.\nthere is for sure a steady percentage of tourists every year and we are trying for the best everytime to satisfy them! hopefully, this year will be a good one for our tourism!

Actually, since the 60's and the 70's Greece's education policy has had an eye to multi-culturalism (which is to which I assume you refer by heterogeniety rather than to the types of courses offered) as a nod to the move toward courting EU membership and offering an adequate education to foreigners residing in Greece (up to 10 percent of the population).\n\nThe Greek government was also looking to transform Greece from a sending state to a host state, which would necessitate accomodating the children of immigrants.  I'm not really sure to what you refer when you say "oriental in their needs" "eastern" referring to the immigrants to Greece?

The growth of an economy can come from two sources.  Government investment or entrepreneur investment.  Although government investment can facilitate economic growth as in building new roads and water supply systems many times government development money is not put to the best economic use because that development money is dictated not by best use but by political and self interest considerations. \n\nEntrepreneur investment on the other hand tends to be much more efficient in promoting economic development because the main consideration in that investment is only return on investment.  The investment tends to gravitate toward where it can make the highest return and thus generate the highest economic benefit to the economy.  \n\nThat is why free market economies tend to outperform planned economies in general, because the free market tends to know better where the highest economic returns are located whereas the planners tend to funnel investments for their own personal interests.

Well the question is purely subjective.  Greece started out as a once important influence when the Italians were still the Etruscans (forerunners to the Romans).  As everyone knows from there the Italians flourished even after the collapse of the empire throughout the middle ages and Renaissance.\nThey generally greatly improved on Greece's endeavours and became the driving force of western civilization for these times while Greece was mired in its past historical importance of crumbing theaters, temples and faux democracy.

Obviously it depends on the policies followed by the government to generate growth.  However - in 1905 China was responsible for 24% of the world's GDP, 30 years ago they were responsible for 4% & they are now growing fast enough to overtake the US and become the world's largest economy by 2030.  Massive changes in wealth can take place over a few decades.  In the case of Ethiopia a conservative estimate might be 50 years to generate enough growth for their standard of living to match the United States.

Ancient Greece offers us a wealth in all the areas you listed. Their dramas are still pertinent to this day ie the conflict of divided loyalties as presented in Sophocles "Antigone". We can learn much about human nature by exploring the mythology created by the Greeks as they sought to explain humans and their existence. They produced beautiful as well as utilitarian structures that celebrated life. They became a spring board for the developing mythologies of the East as they endeavored to portray deities as more accessible and supportive.
