Argentina is amazing. For a country that economically and politically does not matter on the world stage, it punches far above its weight in headline capture. Whether its the corrupt former presidenta, the debt default battle that raged in the NY Appeals court for years, the Nisman affair, the G20 hosting, the peso devaluation or the botched attempt to impress the world through a Superclassico futbol match, Argentina captures way more attention than is merited, either politically or economically. You gotta love that ability to attract the spotlight.
As an example, Australia's economy is 4 times bigger than Argentina's. Yet how often do we read headlines about Australia compared to Argentina?
