New York Times article (by Elisabetta Povoledo and Doreen Carvajal) about the worrying increase in the number of suicides in the last few years in the European countries most suffering as a result of the economic crisis: Italy, Greece and Ireland.
Can the economic crisis really be the cause of so many suicides? While it probably is not the only cause, it is likely to be a contributing factor. Does this simply show how desperate the economic situation of some countries has become - or is it also telling us that perhaps we have made of money the centre of our lives?
