Argentina was once one of the richest nations on Earth and a rival of the U.S. - hence the well-known phrase, "as rich as an Argentine".

Incredible facts about the Argentinian economy in the early 20th century:

As rich as the U.S. per capita at the turn of the century

GDP grew 6% annually during the 43 years to 1914 (fastest in the world)

Top 10 wealthiest nations globally per capita by 1914

Argentinian exports peaked at ~4% of world trade during the 1920s

Argentina was still as rich as much of Europe as late as 1950



Argentina is suffering from high inflation due to odious debt owed in US dollars to the IMF and Western vulture funds.

Argentine's new El Loco leader (a US globalist puppet) insists the "solution" is to abandon monetary sovereignty, adopting the US dollar.

Economist Ha-Joon Chang said "this is the worst idea" and is "insane".
