Complex but thorough?

For those considering the feasibility (or impossibility) of Greece successfully avoiding a default, see The Economist's helpful explanation (especially regarding the complex structure of the French rollover plan).

However, perhaps contagion is more legitimate a fear than the collapse of a country with a FY2010 GDP of only $310bb.
