Exactly what feature of capitalism do you blame Argentina's current
troubles on?
It seems to me that Argentina's real problem is that its government spent
oodles and oodles of money that it didn't have, and ran into the same
problem as any other entity that runs up a bundle of credit card debt.
I'd say that socialism is as much to blame here as capitalism.
