  The second issue is the ‘debt as money’ (DAM) monetary system that has overtaken the world in the last 100 years.  The Greek debt is held by European entities as assets on their balance sheets.  Banks lend based upon their capital base.  If the Greeks formally default, the lending ability of the banks is diminished, perhaps catastrophically.
