The whole thesis of this guy, and history shows it has serious merit, is in Argentina the government is the scam. What he is trying to do is remove the amount of scope that exists for grift and corruption in the Argentine state.

I wish him good luck, sincerely, but if it looks like it works a lot of other countries will start going to great lengths to mess it up.

Oh word? Where has this worked in the past?

Equador

The Case of Ecuador https://bfi.uchicago.edu/wp-content/uploads/The-Case-of-Ecua...

Ecuador has not had significant economic growth in a decade and is currenlty a narco-state.

From my experience it’s worse than that. Some are idealists as you mention, but a lot of them plan or hope that they will be doing the hustling.

> Scammers will descend on Argentina and loot the entire economy.

Too late. That already happened a long time ago.

I remember an Argentinian friend telling me of a time when she and her coworkers would get paid and they'd all immediately leave work to spend their money before the prices went up. Waiting until the end of the day meant taking a significant haircut.

What do you mean by this?
