I'm from Argentina and I'm glad Singer helped to put a stop to our disastrous government at that time.
That said, probably to act in this situations should be a UN prerogative, but UN is outdated in its institutions design. A country like Venezuela is an example of this.
- olivermarks 8y agoHave you read 'confessions of an economic hitman'? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hit_Man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hit... I became a lot more cynical after reading that
- aglavine 8y agoNot read, but it doesn't look a serious piece of work. I'm not naive. Of course Singer's people probably wants to win a lot of money and of course you have lobbyists trying to make fast money everywhere. But that's not the main problem we face. The main problem is the lack of control to dictatorships. You can have a disastrous government like the one we had here or Trump's. But it is damage-controlled by a democratic system. Dictatorships on the other hand are unhinged, lasts forever, and flood the democratic World with their migrants. UN institutions were designed for a PostWar scenario that doesn't exists anymore.
