Disclaimer & comment rulesWith the way things are going, Argentina seems more destined to be a new Communist country with each passing minute. After all, didn't the USSR have '' imports substitution protectionist measures; national control over natural resources; a more predominant role for state companies and banks and discouraging foreign investments and the influx of capital'' ?

Thanks Nouriel Roubini, for stating the bl**din' obvious!!!!!!
What do you expect from a bi-polar widow with no grasp of economics , surrounded by a bunch of pseudo marxist thieves whose only interest is lining their own pockets ? Shame they don't realize there are more opportunities for theft in a rich country than a poor one .

Ha... People just noticed that, they are trying to have a Chinese style market control capitalist system but, there is only one problem, they have no brains and they are highly corrupted.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 12:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What's this? Only one argie troll? Surely there should be dozens explaining why Roubini is wrong, biased, ignorant, destructive. Followed by the derogatory and insulting filth. Or could he be right? Is argieland DOOMED?

#2 Elaine...yes it was a state socialist ruled by a single “communist party”. Communism is a state capitalist society.
Nov 23rd, 2012 - 05:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It seems that KFC seems to think she can do a better job at it then China, Russia and lets not forget the best example yet starving their people...Cuba. I think the Argentines and Cubans will have a lot more in common then they ever thought possible.
Poppy either you don't know what communism is or you don't know what capitalism is.Perhaps you don't know what either is.

Nov 23rd, 2012 - 07:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Roubini got one thing very right, the subprime coming crisis in the west, but he seems utterly ideological and rather out of his depth on this issue
Nov 24th, 2012 - 01:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0#2 Elaine were you in the SWP as a student perhaps?
@15 Hmmmm, who to listen to on economic outlook - some fantasist troll on here or a world renowned economist? Maybe I will have to lie down to think it through for a while.

Nov 24th, 2012 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Meanwhile, Argentinian children and aboriginals from Salta, die of malnutrition while for economic and political reasons, soy is exported to feed China.
Mao did the same thing, sentencing many of his population to death so that could feed the Soviet Union and curry their favour.
Classic State control of the economy.
All coúntries are fúll of “ state capítalísts ”
Nov 24th, 2012 - 09:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0#17 The “free market” does the same thing. I read on here a while back a link to an article that suggested the situation with the aboriginals was more complicated and the role of the left national government has been a positive one, even if too slow off the mark for the scale of the problem. But what you describe certainly happened in Britain's own “state controlled” economy in India more than once, and finally with the Bengal Famine during the Second World War, and has also been happening to parts of Africa due to the workings of the free market for decades
Nov 24th, 2012 - 10:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Lets see ....mmmmm...on one hand....one of the economically smartest guys on the planet.......or BK....the elder argentine troll masquerading as a Scottish Communist.

Everyone sees this except Argentinians led by the botox queen
