To be fair there's "bad" and there's "more than bad", this looks to be in the "more than bad" territory. And whenever I hear "Shock therapy" being mentioned I shiver, because it reminds me of my childhood and adolescence spent under such an economic policy in Eastern Europe back in the '90s. It was worse than hell, thinking back at it.
So all I can say it's that I wish the Argentinian people all the best, they're going to need it.
For sure I don’t want to come across as if I am on “Team Milei.” I am more just annoyed that these recent Argentina is imploding articles don’t spend any time discussing why the country is in the position it’s in, pretty much entirely because of ideological reasons. They only cover the story because it’s useful for bashing their opponents, not because they actually care.
Exactly, it's not much different from the clickbaity tabloid headlines: "ONG BAD STUFF HAPPENS HERE NOW". Very short sighted, and tend to finger current participants as bad, instead of offering a proper historical perspective, in this case that Argentine has been a repeat offender when it comes to defaults and debt restructurings during the 20th century.
