The Verboten Story of Argentina’s Post-Default Economic Success
"Even notice nothing is ever said in the mainstream media about Argentina’s economy, save that it had a big default? You’d never know the following about Argentina:
From 2002 onward, Argentina grown nearly twice as fast as Brazil, and has sported one of the highest growth rates in the world.
Its success is not dependent on a commodities boom
It has increased social spending from 10.3% of GDP to 14.2% of GDP
Inequality has fallen. Poverty and extreme poverty have fallen by roughly 2/3
What is particularly striking is how quickly Argentina’s economy rebounded after its default."

their countries from the hands of the 1%.

That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a Neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."[/font]
