IMF in Argentina 2001

[ArcticAvenger]

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.

I lived through that shite, I remember dad hiding money in a ceiling crack, fearing robbery...

Thanks, I'll take a look at this sometime. It might be a taste of things to come in the United States.

I got around to watching this, it sounds like a nightmare there. It makes American corruption look almost tame by comparison, though I think we may be heading towards the same destination but at a slower pace.
