It's not that the Greeks promoted democracy or philosophy to outsiders but that the empire formed from their ruins, the Romans, adapted by and large that culture. Then, when the Council of Nicea was formed, that culture of aristocracy and social classes was ingrained and spread even further.
The euro, just like all other currencies and commodities, including gold, silver, mercury, lead, copper, sulfur, nickel, and now aluminum which are controlled by the Rothschild banking cartel, is designed to slowly extract the wealth of the masses by limited competition and through the bubbles that are engineered decades in advance culminating with a new financial reform will continue to create the same steady cycle of concentrating power through the extraction of resources/wealth from the largely ignorant public.
That naughty Council of Nicea has indeed let to rampant and rapacious capitalism like you say @baah! Good to have you pass by as always :) Now fuck off out of here as you would say ... Ha ha!
P.S. This rewards pool is filling up real nice @baah ... get thee to thy quill!!
