CRY, ARGENTINA, CRY

摘要

Because the worst is yet to come. For the nth time during the last three quarters of a century, Argentina has been plunged into a severe financial crisis that, as during some previous episodes, has mushroomed into a severe political crisis. Anybody who thought President Fernando de la Rua's resignation would magically make things better was wrong. Argentines are just beginning to suffer the worst of this crisis, which actually began back in late 1998, when the economy went into recession. It's ironic that, given the pain that lies ahead, some Argentines might soon feel nostalgic about the recessionary De la Rua presidency.
