Argentina’s Economic Collapse – Part 5 of 12


Part 6: au.youtube.com Documentary on the events that led to the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001 which wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Central to the collapse was the implementation of neo-liberal policies which enabled the swindle of billions of dollars by foreign banks and corporations. Many of Argentina’s assets and resources were shamefully plundered. Its financial system was even used for money laundering by Citibank, Credit Suisse, and JP Morgan. The net result was massive wealth transfers and the impoverishment of society which culminated in many deaths due to oppression and malnutrition. Official name: Memoria del Saqueo by Fernando Solanas 2003.

    This is a joke right? There are certainly corrupt Menem, Peronistas Argentina is to present the most corrupt group of politicians. This is not a lot of documentaries, some of the publicity. It’s like the U.S., Democrats and Republicans. A pox on both your houses.

    These clips will not make sense how? Said to be equal to the dollar and peso. Imports lead to more plant closures in the authorization procedure. 50 percent interest per annum. Treasonist politics all together on how the national debt, and that the plunge can not withdraw money, are linked to the struggle between the working class to get a job?

    A disaster for our national policy. It is better, the same course now pueblada Kirchner should not update the trick to steal. Where I support, Kirchner is to see schools working capital and poverty, children are not eating, so parents are working 12/14 hours a day, live with the red card I do not know. Where do you think is better? What never left the house?

    Intelligent and quick without thinking needs to work in front and be done. Promote the current conflict. Capitalism does not get wealth without production. Value for you and you are looking for a marketing job voluntarilly completely. This is supported by the ethics agreement. If employees refuse to work will not get anywhere, no way this process is to do another take. Than not to convert the iron into the furnace is better.

    This is the central planning control has to allow business to compete better their capital arbitrarilly bunch of absurd laws in your life. And the government competitors (other governments) and the brutal violence and murder, against the free market with a course of action with very limited resources tend to Eleminate. You are where the really smart people so deserve it more efficient. Jobs, the CEO can not be produced, which holds a charity

    You cronie fascist state capitalism and capitalism that we have learned, it is. In such circumstances you are completely incompatible, they can not have capitalism. So the market is driven by greed. Provide fuel for this greed? Customers. Choose to replace the purchasing power of your product or service voluntarily. You can remove your customers expect a decent return. But today, these companies, the state monopoly and IP, are protected by intellectual property through grant

  25. ExquisiteDoom said

    Venture capitalists, do not actually work? There are certain levels of reliability and will be held this claim to have it. You are given the task of efficient allocation of capital to your people. This is what you do serious pragmatikotita.Kai What will the law of the jungle? Please consider a way to perpetuate itself possible. Could not survive in the choice of which species will survive, unless weather conditions and the communist economy is a house of cards.
