I’ve been to Argentina many times
It has to try hard to be poor and dysfunctional. At times, it succeeds at it. Kirchner was particularly adept at keeping the country down.
The “Trump Effect” seems to be ushering a rebirth, renewal, and golden age opportunities of sorts in countries all over the world.
A few more countries to go...
I have a fascination with Argentina and it’s people. I lived in Mexico for 10 years in the 80’s & 90’s. A lot of Argentine’s living in Mexico now because their economy has been in the tank for a very long time.
Seems to me based on second hand information that a lot of people that do go there (Buenos Aires and other big cities) say that the union mentality and doin’ enough just to get by is the way it works. YMMV.
