Look. All of the above was even more true of when they took over with a massive default not of their making and the Ks were a remarkable unexpected success for 7-8 years. Now the thing is to compare that with Macri's first term of office when he inherited much less of the same kind of problems...

Ok fair enough though the suggestion that it was K policies that 'kept many people impoverished' needs some demonstration, more particularly given what I had shown about the very long term and increasing bias towards inequality in Argentina (including compared to other Latin Am countries in...

what about skid row in california? Detroit? What about them? Extremes of inequality and poverty exist in the USA, though with a large middle class. USA has strong race element. When I lived in Detroit a little while it was overwhelming a black core city. The people out at Deerborn asked me...

Not sure what Stan is saying here except 'Macri may be bad but K is full of empty promises. Nobody could doubt that with the simply enormous IMF albatross round Argentina's neck (shot by Macri) the prospects for the next few years is bleak. Surely that is not the fault of the Ks who inherited a...

But what possible similarities are there to a life in Buenos Aires to Asuncion? BA has 650 small theaters. 4 or 5 different music choices a night. 10,000 restaurants. Manufacturers of all kinds of materials and tools and products. A lively music, fashion, art, architecture, dance, literature...

Argentina does some things brilliantly well: its culture and artistic production is simply superb. It has a wonderful tourism menu that could be expanded. It makes wonderful primary products including beef, soya and wine which are high quality. Some of its artisan industries are very good and...

I agree with you completely on the need for justice.

And on this occasion, once again, Perry, what is your belief based on? We have had similar discussions in the past about this and while we all have intuitive guesses they usually register, as Maynard Keynes often said, either our preconceptions or the views of a past scribbler, as he put it...

As you know the original figure of 9000 was put out by the Commission as the first tangible evidence of definite cases with the explicit proviso that they list was very unlikelyto be exhaustive and that as more evidence emerged the numbers estimated would grow. The New York Times of 2015 report...

So agreed there were no thousands killed by montoneros even if we include ERP and others who have been grouped together by those most critical of them. Second as I said that does not justify their deluded strategy which I criticised. Third, the numbers of disappeared is bitterly disputed between...

I must say that I appreciate how friendly and courteous most Argentinians are to me as a British person who is after all, in their view, occupying part of their country. No one has upbraided me about the Malvinas or anything else. I appreciate that as a white skinned European I get an easier...

I appreciate a serious discussion though I am keen on accuracy. What is the basis of the claim that the Montoneros, let alone Firmenich personally, 'killed thousands'? The sources I consult usually number their assisination of prominent politibcal and military or police figures in tens rather...

Something is supposedly happening> Fernández de Kirchner faces a number of possible corruption trials during the current electoral year. In two, her children Máximo and Florencia are also defendants. In the so-called 'Hotesur case', the family members face money laundering allegations. The...

My view is that blaming individuals as though they are personally accountable for the poor outcomes in economic and political terms misses the point. All this focus on CF and FF and listing the supposed failings of the Peronist or Kirchener regimes or saying "well Macri may be incompetent but he...

ps I might add that Perry uses the Wiki sources I have cited in my postings and underlines that there are some variations in the data.

You may or may not be correct about discrepancies as they are from slightly different sites but the immigration figures claim to be from the official statistical source for population believe that or not. The discrepancies on Columbians is a secondary issue and does not affect the main point...

The figures I presented are for immigration and you have the source. They are not my figures but from the website that I provided. You seem to have an issue with the veracity of the figures for USA immigrants but you offer only a statement that you do not believe the immigration figures which...

I am not sure what your point is or where your issue

Your estimate is that the present USA originated population of Argentina would be no more than 9,600 but I know of no more recent enumeration and would again simply enquire as to your sources or source of impressions?
