Argentina is still doomed.
If you don’t know Argentine politics well, I’ll give you a quick history: the country has vast natural resource wealth and was once one of the richest in the world. It has been serially run by a group of incompetents ever since the Perons first came to power after World War II. After years of military dictatorship, several revolutions, and a crippling financial crisis, Argentina has never regained its status as a stable, developed nation.
The current president of Argentina is Cristina Fernandez Kirchner, wife of her predecessor Nestor Kirchner. The couple has been in power since 2003 and has been extraordinarily effective at consolidating power at the federal executive level. They are among the most anti-market leaders in the world whose policies have continued to waste and squander Argentina’s natural wealth.
