I have often criticised what has been written for being descriptive and not prescriptive.
Thus: Here Goes.
Greece does not need a plan. Greece needs a project. An economic development project.
I have often excoriated the EuroCrats for many things. Among them, for trying to destroy Greece. Most recently, for acting like monkeys chasing their own tales.

Divestment or divestiture of Government owned assets.

Health Benefits.
A Retirement Plan

Limit Foreign Ownership of Stock in the Companies.
PART B
Offer incentives for Foreign Investors who start companies in Greece that

Greek Tourist Sites
Greek Chamber of Commerce & Industry
Greek Economic Development Councils
Promote Junior Year Abroad and Summer Session for Foreign Students who want to study
Philosphy
History
Archaeology
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Bon Chance.
