Greek Default? Really?

Came across this piece written a few months back on Niall Ferguson's views on Greece. As he points out, over the past 200 years or so Greece has been in and out of default several times. This isn't a novel event. Yet most of the "explanations" today by the talking heads say fear of Greece defaulting (again) are to blame for the lackluster markets. Hmmm, really??
