Jul 13th, 2010 - 10:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0”Mrs Kirchner separated individual corruption, which the courts must handle, from structural corruption, “which often times damages national economies and must be fought with greater regulation, control of users and of the state and transparent, anti-monopolistic and diversified policies”.
Individual corruption is OK as long as you control the courts...... Oh OK..
Individual corruption in Argentina has trickled down into the society until it has become structural... and endemic...
Is this international system of financial regulation one where Argentina becomes the recipient of free money?

Jul 13th, 2010 - 11:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0she is trying to do a Thatcher, buts needs to understand that china is not like the west, where she can flutter eyelids and they all jump , including mrs Clinton, but when china has had enough, she will drop mrs kirchner
like a brick, this lady is well out of her pram, but you have to admire her ?
Her latest statement, that Peronism is just like Maoism, may please China, but I´ll bet that the Peronists in Argentina won´t be too happy about such a statement!
Jul 15th, 2010 - 10:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder where she intends to go with such a statement. Classic Maoism has effectively been abandoned in China. This is not surprising as classic Maoism was oft-described as agrarian socialism because of the nature of Chinese society in Mao's time. China is now well into industrialism.

This can be construed as a struggle to achieve a mean, where those with inappropriate wealth etc. are divested of them in order to redistribute to those below the mean. Doubt whether the Kirchner fortune would sit well with any sort of Maoist.
She is right we need a new world financial system, the U$ is falling like a stone, besides why doesn't each coutry trade in their own currency, redusing the need to pay exchange charged.
