    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    Im not importing anything from Mexico, and the dollars, yes, but if I lived here I would get dollars too. Or you are going to say that you can not get dollars here? theres a blue market, you know? and the government knows, which percentage of people who use that market are going to jail?

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    I dont believe in free market. I believe in market regulations, without them, the capital tends to accumulate, like we have today, one single person with trillions in the banks, and, on the other side, millions who live with a dollar per day.

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    well, if you think that the Macri Group were one of the very benefitted by the Junta, and by this I mean, let them take debt in dollars and afterwards nationalizing it and transferring all that debt to argentine people, and then you compare their economic policies, their economic team, their...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    I didnt mean North Korea, maybe some European country not part of the EU. The thing is that we have made that change, to "disciplinate" our industry by the world, and the loss was incredible: loss of argentine jobs, loss of our industry, precarization of our labour force, poverty...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    ...but embraer is what it is due the enormous help and support of the state. What argentine state is trying to do here is to recover the small factories, the great industries is a more complex thing to do, and it has to do more with crony capitalism, in part. Investments, huge investments, also...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    Here we have two models of a country, the left, protectionist, kirchnerista, peronista, pro-national industry, etc, and the right, macri, the menemismo, dictatorship, etc, which opened widely the doors to imports, without a penny of taxes, without protecting national industry, without requesting...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    yeah, the world cup prediction in EVERY SINGLE thread I talk. I already explained that zillion times. Boring. I dont think this kind of industry is the best, it surely is the best we can have, and it works better everytime for argentine people. Maybe it will get complex more and more with the...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    I know that, I know that the world has changed, Argentina had a great great car industry, 90% of the cars were produced here, The Reanult factory, the only Mercedes Benz factory outside of Germany. Now we produce only 17% of cars, we import the rest. The same with cell phones. I know the world...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    Of course as it happened during the last dictatorship and during menemismo, not by accident the two periods of -neoliberalismo- and by this I mean, incredibly high rates of unemployment, poverty and gini index, there were these "APERTURA COMERCIAL" measures. In both cases, they let everything...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    First of all, I never said I was happy with argentinas gini coefficient. In fact is far away from what it used to be, and it has raised a lot in the past (neoliberal) 30 years. I only said that by Latam standards is ok. But Latin America is by far the more unequal region of the planet, and we do...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    The thing is, yes, maybe the quality is inferior, our cars can not compete with Germany, or our electronics are no good compared to Japan. But thats a *detail* if we think what argentine industry represents to Argentina. It means work, good, quality work, en blanco, etc, for a lot of...

    Import Restrictions To Be Lifted

    The paradox with import restrictions is that on one side, it helps you have a balanced balance of payments, impulse the argentine industry, the local production (the famous ISI: Industrializacion por sustitución de importaciones). But on the other side, we need as well imports to produce, to...

    Palermo Soho Review By Way Of The New York Times.

    BsAs is not Palermo but neither a huge Boca. Somewhere in the middle Id say. There are several barrios like Palermo (which, BTW, is by far the largest and more popolous of the city). Like Palermo I mean upper middle class, with pretty caffes and gelatos and trendy and with restaurants and nice...
