The only real solution I can see is agreement among major governments not to allow themselves to be divided by corporations which often have greater income than many smaller countries and can get what they want most of the time. These companies make a lot of money from the markets of the major economies and are vulnerable to sanctions, boycotts etc. I don't think Argentina could or should join the race to the bottom in terms of immoral behaviours re tax, no. But any tax on the wealthy it imposes is met by a chorus of conservative disapproval as wrecking its competitive position. The real challenge as I understand it for the next 30 years is to growing ecological capitalism that has a moral obligation to preserve rather than destroy the natural world and our future with it. That needs agreement.

What you're wanting is a wish list from Santa. (At least you picked the right time of the year for it.) It's not a realistic definitive solution, especially among multiple countries.

And it sounds like you're saying Argentina is insignificant, the rich are too powerful, and the poor can only take it up the...

This was not a rise in the retenciones, only an update of MM eules.
The rise is comming but probably by the Congress.

Complaining and a solution that is pretty simple really. There is no solution because we are never going to undo the way the system works. So the solution is to get damn good at working the cards you are dealt with. I know poverty my father left when I was just a boy nothing compares to wanting to eat more when there is not more to eat. How about getting ridiculed for 3rd generation hand me down clothes? Yea I know all about it.

There was only one way out study like my life depended on it and spend the rest of my time doing odd jobs and working when I could starting at the age of 12. Get smart as you can understand the system and work it, invent things write patents do what you love to do.

You know the system can really work for you if you know how to work it. You can invent something write a patent get it approved and then just get paid to license the technology. Now that is cool! Just saying.

In fact, this guy Oden from Argentina nailed it and it seems the same system is now working for him! Hmmm!

I just do not want to get dragged into the pit with socialist losers that think that my life is equal to theirs. It is not, never has been and never will be. Nor do I enjoy the potential these socialist losers have to drag their fellow Argentinians into their looser pit with them. Which so far is about the only thing these losers have produced.

You said you wanted an alternative to scepticism-passivity of the kind that has been denying climate change for many years and you 'got it', so I will try and elucidate: corporations and governments can be remarkably susceptible to the power of public and consumer opinion, hence the sacking of Boeing CEO over gross negligence/corporate misbehaviour, and the humiliation of Australian PM over holidaying while his government was faced with worst bush fires in living memory, having nay-nayed climate change. Even China is responding to everything from Hong Kong protests to criticism of its use of indentured labour. So far from wishing the governments of world have been waking up to the need for regulations of different kinds. As to Argentina: you may have noticed that the Macri years have indeed pulled the country's pants down and left it vulnerable to IMF interference with the heaviest debt burden of any developed country. The new government and even the much-maligned C-FK is trying to devise tax policies and incentives to cover its ass. You may even approve of them as a practical rather than wishful measure for Xmas. Happy days.

You think a government has the power to tax whatever it wants and that by introducing draconian tax measures it will get more tax revenues, not less? All it is doing is making tax evasion more acceptable. Luckily we do not live in a world where governments have absolute power.

Yes an elected government has the power to tax. Yes government tax revenues generally go up with increased taxes despite increased evasion. If evasion was not possible would that make the tax justified? No government in the world ever has absolute power.
