This is just propaganda to hide the disastrous effects of the hard peg of the Greek currency to the strong core states' currencies which is what the Euro is, A weaker economy locked in to a stronger economy's currency always ends without fail in misery and destitution.

Of course the strong states prosper as the wasting away of the peripheral European economies keeps the Euro down so there is no currency appreciation to raise export prices which would have happened as a balance in the past as importers buy the exporter's currency to pay for imports. Is there any economic process in the modern world which is not designed to transfer wealth from those without enough to those with far too much? You have to wonder.

You get something very similar in all countries where capital cities are a source of high employment, pay better wages, drive up cost of living and housing prices, require more urban services, more public capital is expended and this creates even more jobs ...

More remote areas don’t get the capital injection, wages are lower, but city driven costs are almost as high in the remote areas so the people are the poorer for it.

This becomes a two stage economy within one fixed currency.

The result is that people moan about the urban chaos but love the better money and when they retire if they decide that they can stand the quiet of the remoter areas they find that their humble home can be sold for enough money that will build a palace in the parts with the lower stage economy - far from the urban machine house.  All the delightful headlands become dotted with the mansions of retired urban refugees - places the locals could hardly afford.

This results in a certain assumption by the urban wealthy that somehow their years in the big city rat race left them smarter than those who stayed in the more rural parts.
