"Greece is resource poor, lacking water, and combined with the work ethic typical of southern Mediterranean countries, is not a recipe for affluence"

“Kinda like the Mexico of Europe, but without the oil!”

I think a better analogy would be: “Kinda like the Venezuela of Europe, but without the oil!”. As a group, Mexicans are quite industrious and hard workers when given an opportunity. Pretty much every manufactured good we consume in the U.S. is made in China or Mexico.
