Who would have thunk it. I guess capitalism really does work.

Especially in this day, when just about every western nation is in dire economic straits, to see a nation turned around, just remarkable. It points such a strong accusing finger that this can be done but isn't, all as a matter of choice by career thieves we call politicians.

So now we know that two formerly impossible goals are achievable.

You CAN run a surplus without the world spinning into the Sun and

You CAN close the border without new laws or regulations if you enforce whats already on the books.

I guess what is most offensive is that these trolls think we believe them.

I’m glad Piketty got it wrong about Argentina, but he was right about one thing - historically, the rich get richer and the vast majority of us get poorer and the only way that seems to get reset is through world war. I hope Millei proves him wrong about that too.

Bravo! Like any great performance we stand up and applaud and maybe even ask for an encore

Tomas Picketty is about the most unhinged Socialistic Economist (Now there's an Oxymoron...) that was ever born...Wrong on so many counts, It's a wonder that Anyone even listens to Him...

Joel, Like your positive article and the facts as updated on Argentina. Also the comments say much positive. Have nothing to add.

Argentina looks better every day.

I call them witch doctors; you call them economists.

However, sometimes I can only refer to them with the expletive delighted.

I also find it interesting that Argentina would establish this record within a week after the death of Paul Ehrlich, the wrong-way witch doctor.
