In the fall of 2007, when the U.S. economy first seemed in peril, I began answering reader queries here on the Business Desk. I still do so, but this page has expanded to include posts from eminent economists, "far-flung correspondents," and a variety of voices that have intriguing and/or useful things to say about economics, broadly defined. Please feel encouraged to respond to any and all of them.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou on the Financial Crisis

(Watch a larger version of the video.)

Editor's Note: Tonight on the NewsHour, Paul Solman reports on how the people of Greece are responding to the austerity measures the country has imposed to deal with its debt crisis.

"Obviously we have a daunting [...] prospect to change our economy, change our whole society I would say," Prime Minister George Papandreou told the NewsHour. "I came in on a mandate of change. [...] I think we're seeing the birth pains of something very new."

Watch the first half of the full interview with Papandreou above. We'll post the second half tomorrow.
