State-Corporate crime in Greece, in the era of Memoranda

Abstract

In this introductory contribution on "State-corporate crime in Greece, in the era of memoranda" I try to define and test the term “state-corporate crime” in nowadays Greece, and finally reveal the true nature of this crime. The interdependence of the state and corporate capital, either by converting directly public money into private (i.e. contracts) or by providing facilities and specific policies (i.e. laws, decrees, etc.) is the way that the heart of our capitalist society operates, the norm (and not the exception).
