by Alessandra GalloniMarch 6, 2010
Three Frenchmen are among the key actors pulling the strings behind the Greek crisis, but they frequently pull in different directions.
European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn all have a hand in trying to prevent a default that would send shockwaves through the world economy.
But each is also trying to do so in a way that bolsters the institution he heads. This has revealed differences that could affect not only Greek rescue policies, but other issues including how to boost growth and value currencies.
