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.

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