Writings
In his last letter, written from death-row, Belogiannis first mentions two books that he appears to have written about the economic development of Greece and the countries history of literature. The manuscripts of the former where finally recovered in 1998 and published under the title "Foreign Capital in Greece" (Το Ξένο Κεφάλαιο στην Ελλάδα). Through the detailed analysis of Greece's external borrowing, its history is presented as one of subjection to foreign powers and financial institutions who ended up controlling most of its economy and resources to the dismay of the working class.
