You should have your text comprehension skills checked because at no point did I attack you. And I JUST said his administration has been bad. I think you´re the one that´s in love with Macri. In fact, If it was up to me, I´d have him replaced with someone else ASAP. The best thing that could...

Many Argentines pay MUCH less for basic services than people in other Latin countries that earn much less. What´s your proposed solution to reduce the abysmal fiscal deficit, then? If there was no fiscal deficit there´d be no need to take on so much debt. How hard is this to understand? I also...

I´m extremely critical of Macri, but not for the same contradictory reasons you are. What you gotta ask yourself is just how bad the previous administration had to be for people to vote for Macri and continue to support him in spite of mediocre economic performance for the past two years. It...

Macri Is an incompetent fool, so let us all lobotomise ourselves and vote for the party responsible for 1/3 of Argentines living in poverty, 50% of children in the same situation, historically high inflation, 40% working under the table, one of the highest tax burdens for workers in the world...

Highly subjective preferences aside, I see absolutely no reason to pick Argentina over Spain. Spain outperforms Argentina in literally anything I can think of. Nevermind that in spite of being badly hit by the 2008 crisis, it still was and is more than twice as rich as Argentina, and its...

Complains about overspending and inflation -but will vote for a peronist- while complaining about cuts at the same time Only in Peronia

The gov made many people bring in undeclared dollars from abroad shortly after taking power too. The much discussed banqueo de capitales. Can't remember the exact number but it was lot of money. It was estimated there were over 300 billion dollars from args in foreign accounts

I have no interest in defending the IMF or whoever, but isn't it funny the other country often set as an example of the supposed predatory ways of the fund is Greece, whose chaotic ways are mired in historical corruption and fiscal ruin? How about taking responsibility for the people the PEOPLE...

SHARMINI PERIES: Michael, why is it that Argentina needs such a huge credit line from the IMF? MICHAEL HUDSON: For precisely the reason that you explained. The neoliberal policy has its aim rolling back any of the wage increases in employment that Mrs. Kirschner, the former president, implied...

By the way, whats so "neoliberal" about Macri´s administration? If anything, he´s -ironically- heavily criticized by liberal economists. Apparently, trying to live within your means warrants one to be called a "neoliberal" nowadays. Ridiculous.

Didn´t know this economist, but oh boy, one has to wonder what credibility a guy who defends Maduro has. Taken off his own website: "It made me appear to be criticizing Venezuela’s politicians and, by implication, President Maduro. But at no point had I criticized Venezuela’s attempts at...

Regarding capital flight, nothing new. Argentina has had decades of incompetent administrations, which lead to widespread distrust in the country´s institutions. Whoever keeps their capital here has to be either very savvy or very stupid.

Would love to know what´s the alternative to the IMF loan, which consists of the lowest interest rate Argentina can get. Nevermind the fact that the country got there in the first place because the goverment inherited a country in flames financially.

Enough to be a reflection of this country's failure and Schizophrenia.

Spot on. Is there a nation in this world that doesn't have past demons? I'd love to know if there is. Plus, societies advance and most people today have nothing to do with what their amcestors did. Thats not to say, there exists a perfect utopian society anywhere, but Germany today is a country...

Not sure it´d be what you´re looking for, but for some bizarre reason the Metro has by far the fastest and most reliable WI-FI in the city.

To top it off, Buenos Aires excessive centrality and disparity with other regions is certainly something to take into account. This is from a 2017 article showing the Human Development Index of every Province as elaborated by the UN. The Provinces at the bottom have African levels of poverty...

Many people don´t know or ignore that in spite of that, Argentina wasn´t a "developed" country. Education levels were very low in comparison to, say, the US. Literacy rates were obviously lower then, but Argentina´s fared worse in that regard. Similarly, its economy relied too much on what...
