The state. We curse it, we scorn it, sometimes we hate it, we always ask something from it, deep down we fear it, and not rarely we flatter it. Does this attitude remind you of anything? But, no matter what we say, whether we like it or not, we will be citizens of some state, because that's how the world is organized. There are "better" and "worse" states than ours. Although we want to see it as something "outside of us," the state is "us," with our good and our pathologies. The question is whether we want to make it "better." We all agree on that, provided the path to "better" does not infringe on our petty interests.
The next question is whether we can. Most people think we can't, but they're wrong. The book has multiple recipients. Its core, the second part, is an analysis of Law No. 4622/19 concerning the Executive State, aimed at understanding its content. It is addressed to those who want to learn about this law and mainly to those who are called upon to implement it.
The third part delves extensively into the content of the law, with a critical approach and a formulation of numerous proposals and observations. It is mainly aimed at the implementers of the law who are decision-makers, and it seeks to help them achieve better results. However, it also concerns all those interested in deepening their understanding of this specific legislation.
The first part is aimed at all those who ponder about the state in general and the Greek state in particular. Although the topic is enormous, it seeks to answer basic questions about why this entity exists, what state our own is in today, and what possibilities exist to improve its functioning. The book includes a wealth of diagrams and tables and uses a "friendly" language for better understanding of its content.
