Why did Argentina Decline? (Short Animated Documentary) financial history documentary

On the good side Argentina is one of the most developed country in latin america

Argentina is a prime example of why socialism and capitalism don’t work.

Tldr, socialist policies. Like every country ever.

Btw, if you see argentinians commenting here, it's probably from the top 20% or less that has a good understanding of english, and therefore have a very biased (mostly right-wing) opinion, which is like half or even less of the story, the most internationally widespread one.

Because it's obviously a "third world country" but has a rather good education system and public services in the Paraná River region, otherwise mostly dispersed in what would be known as the "interior" of the country (related to good comerce and infrastructure of the port region during oligarchies and bad management of the most continental areas in regards to the global market of the previous centuries), the ones who say "study and gtfo" are the ones who can do so from almost the beginning. I'm technically almost middle-upper class (much more middle than upper) and have gone to Mexico, the US and Uruguay in international trips (can't do so anymore since the peso inflation hit HARD), which is a good place to be at economically for a very unstable country, but then again, nowhere near where fellow "homeland sell-outs" are.

There's a whole left-wing/right-wing/center dispute going on where everyone calls each other out for being insufferable extremists, fascists or communists.

The Left is usually young middle or lower class uni students that think they can fight capitalism and make a better version of Cuba.
The Right is mostly land-owners, businessmen/entrepeneurs and like 70% of media, "the rich and the fools" from the other two's point of view, but there's most of the money and powerful people that want a free market.
The Center is a mess of workers (center-left) and indecisive pals (center-right), mostly "no, I don't have a political view" bs and peronists, but then again, peronism goes from one side to the other and makes zero sense to everyone, and they may vote on either side of the spectrum.

When every party, reduced to two, pushes to either neoliberalism or a shitty version of capitalist socialism, people don't realize (they do, but can't control, which is basically the same) going back and forth between both systems that literally try to destroy each other is making the country more of a mess.

I will gtfo in its time, for sure, but many people won't even think of doing so because even with so much shit we say about it to the world, patriotism, family and national idealism are what ties most of us down and tries to push the country forward, but you won't hear much of them here.

Socialism creates equal Poverty. That's why they come to the U.S. 🇺🇲😎

Argentina: Corrupt can’t be spelled without the A in military and the R in dictatorship

as same as an average American?that was so good,hope it gets better,best of luck from India.

Do you realize that most of Argentina's wealth back then was concentrated in the 1-5% of the population, the oligarchs? Right?

All of south america have this problem with corrupted liders that can simply made such a shitload of money by seeling theirs natural resources to other countrys that, well, nothing ever works.

Argentina was well on its way to becoming like Australia or New Zealand–a wealthy nation that depended on agricultural and natural resource exports for its prosperity. But then right-wing populism struck with Juan Peron in 1946 and that was the end of that. It's been almost 100 years of Trumpist-like economic policies and Argentina is totally in a giant hole of political instability and rampant corruption. Can't wait for the U.S. to be dragged down to Argentina's level as Trumpism's influence continues to grow…

Why? Because of the brits and americans.

I DON'T KNOW MAN I DON'T LIKE THIS PLACE

It's always a problem if you're GDP and GDP p/c are high and people consider you a potential great power but it's literally all based on agricultural exports to hungry, booming industrial powers who have agriculture of their own and more protected sources and who then suffer a war or other decline in purchasing power, and on investment capital from those same now broke industrial powers. National Wealth as fairy dust, more so than is true for all nations. Soon enough we'll find out that specializing in services or being a trade entrepot or being focused on tourism have similar problems.

As a brazilian: I love argentinians. I hate the argentinian government.
