Changing Argentina’s Inertia: Is it Possible?

The obstacle, as always, is politics.

There is no discussion here because there is no viable democratic path forward to meaningful economic reform.

It depends upon what you mean by democracy. Most countries aren't what they say they are.

United States of America - hardly
United Kingdom - flying apart at the corners
Democratic Republic of Congo - puhleeze!
Republic of Argentina - monarchy run by a regent until the prince comes of age.

Count India as well in this esteemed list.

Nonsense -- if Argentina were a monarchy, reform would be much easier. It is not.

You can make all the cynical comments you want about Argentina, USA, UK but they are all -- imperfect -- democracies.

Always said the problem with Argentina is its Spanish and Italian background plus it's location in the world map doesn't help. There's no EU here to take them by the hand and guide them into the 21st century.

A little bias don't you think? maybe the ''troubles'' in Ireland was caused by religion too? since the Spaniards or Italians had nothing to do with it.
Is it too far out to understand that Spaniards , Italians, and Catholics might be the cause?

Probably but you have to blame something for Argentinas woes.
