What is it about?
The article explores how the crisis has modified how Greeks see the 1980s and how the ‘prosperous’ and ‘safe’ 1980s are nostalgically discussed in the Greek public sphere.

Why is it important?
It combines various sources from oral interviews to virtual ethnography and discusses the origins of the current crisis including issues not much debated such as media change or suburbanization.
Perspectives
This article inspired other works of mine on how the recent past has been criticized through the crisis (e.g. an article in the Journal of Consumer Culture) and hopefully is the first step towards a future book on how the 1980s are (re)seen in the crisis.
