  Warning signs about the developing economic crisis in Greece were present in
the growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and in the growth of the
GDP well before the economic collapse. The growth rate was strongly unstable.
On average, in less than 50 years, it decreased 10-folds but after reaching a
low minimum it quickly increased 6-folds only to crash before completing the
full cycle. The decreasing growth rate was leading to an asymptotic maximum of
the GDP but it was soon replaced by a fast-increasing growth rate propelling
the GDP along a pseudo-hyperbolic trajectory, which if continued would have
escaped to infinity in 2017. Such a growth could not have been possibly
supported. Under these conditions, the economic collapse in Greece was
inevitable.
