Economists like to say that there are only four types of economies: developing economies, developed economies, Argentina, and Japan.

dollarization makes sense, the rest is just claptrap talk about cutting social services (and some of which would be a necessary conclusion anyway, because currently the spending is financed by simply money printing)

of course the extremely dramatic complete eradication of any kind of redistribution is almost surely not the optimal path to growth
