Overnight, Greece reached a deal with its eurozone creditors. The tl;dr is that Greece gave way on virtually everything, in exchange for receiving a volume of financial assistance that should allow its banks to reopen and the country to continue using the euro as its currency. But the full austerity-and-reform agenda that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras successfully campaigned against twice is going to happen anyway — the price Greece pays for being unwilling to walk away from the eurozone.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
