Even though a small country like Greece is rarely featured on the front page of prestigious British magazine The Economist, after the crisis broke more than six years ago, Greece has had the… honor of being on the magazine’s cover not just once, but seven times.
The magazine published an article on its website dedicated to the “tragic cover star,” noting all the times that Greece has been featured on the front page, starting with the May 2010 issue, when the crisis started to swell.
“Frequent trips back to the brink of disaster have been responsible for repeat cover performances, as has the occasional bailout or election. One suspects there may be more covers to come, though not too many, we hope; our stock of available metaphors is looking as depleted as Greek bank vaults,” noted the financial magazine in its original tribute.
