"What Spain could learn from Argentina’s successful default and devaluation"

[jimdepalermo]

Passing along a nest of recent articles of interest.

First, a note from Paul Krugman today on the AR and BR economies: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/03/down-argentina-way/.

Krugman references a post by Matthew Yglesias from Tuesday on Slate: http://www.slate.com/articles/busin...only_way_to_save_their_doomed_economies_.html. (He unfortunately cites INDEC unemployment numbers. . . .)

Inglesias in turn references an article by Chile's last minister of the economy, writing about YPF http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/the-last-argentine-picture-show.

Enjoy!

I like the comparison of the Kirchners to Marx (as in Groucho, Chico, and Harpo).
