Argentina May Not Flourish After Cristinina

In the short term, it's likely getting worse independent of the outcome of the elections. What people seem not to understand is that most political decisions have delayed effects. And given the issues that are more build up instead of solved by the current government (e.g., reserves, financial deficit, unsustainable social welfare programs) together with the global economic situation, hoping for a good-looking future in the short term is quite optimistic in my opinion. The best thing FpV can happen is that they lose the elections, the issues become present and obvious to the public and they can blame it on the new government instead of their shitty policies in the past... So I'm not sure if it wouldn't be better if Scioli wins the race and the Argentine people will finally discover how "great" their peronistic policies are in the long-term. Unfortunately, even if that happens, they likely will sell it as a coup attempt of other foreign forces, the fault of big companies, or any other absurd reason as they have done in the past all too often.

Valid point. Macri's voters will expect immediate change and improvement when he takes office (in case he wins). But what happens if he gets rid of the cepo on December 11 as promised? Peso devaluation. Inflation may get worse short term.

Macri might be many things but not a modern thinker.

This happened before with Revolucion Libertadora. They just hated peronism and once in power the plan was to destroy it.

Genious! The country was predicted to be the 6th economy of the world by the 70' and they achieve to be 3456 in the ranking over about 200 countries.
