Given the state of the Euro/Eurozone there is probably quite a lot the ECB could learn from S. America.

Albeit how not to do things.

i wonder if they call argentinas real %25+ inflation a success?? or the nationalization of YPF and its lack of investment?? or the situation with the holdouts and Argentinas upcoming DEFAULT?? or maybe they are talking about the genereal strikes and pot banging sessions, the power cuts, the transport failures a regular occurence in Argentina?? not forgetting the ever so popular “Dollar clamp”, maybe they mean Argentinas mounting global complaints about import restrictions at the WTO, or the daily cost of the argentine basic food basket?? or about Crustina trying to silence the free press Clarin?? or maybe any repurcussions following the IMF RED card??

Now I know what they mean when The European Central Bank says it has ‘much to learn’ from latam, they mean argentina and learn from their mistakes :))))

@1 How to get 25% inflation. How to make your money worthless. How to amass amazing levels of debt. How to attempt to wriggle out of repaying debts. How to spend every day lying, cheating, stealing.

A goal for Europe?

You mean “saving people their pensions from shaky Spanish and European investments to be used within Argentina for Argentine needs.”

Still,

But with all that bail out money, [why bother]

Please note, Don Vitor Constancio met with people from Chile, Uruguay, México, Peru, Colombia and Brazil. He did not meet with anyone from Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia or Venezuela. In other words he met with those that are doing things right!!!!!!!
