I guess a major reason for that development is because that with the fall of the wall and the end of the cold war governments lost their power base legimicy, with the corporate folks coming to the conclusion they do not need the rest of the people anymore, claiming their own slice of the cake and feeling a bit more equal then the rest. Yanno "we provide the wealth and you better be thankful for us to pay taxes", even if they evade that at all costs to begin with.
Morales in this environment changed from "everything is allowed until it hurts somebody else" to "everything is allowed until it is explictly forbidden"
Blackdogs descritption about those eilites is spot on, by far not reduced to Greece only, though.
