Maybe GP was referring to Christopher Hitchens' article "Our Greece to Their Rome", which appeared as chapter 1 in his book Blood, Class, and Nostalgia?
Even if not, I have to recommend the book. Like all early Hitchens, this is an occasionally dazzling and very entertaining book, written by someone with the same pedigree as the wits at the Economist, but with a lot more originality, and more interesting ideological commitments.
