I am from Argentina, and the "sold out to the World Bank" narrative is really harmful to my country. Stop spreading it, you're totally clueless about it.
What really made us poorer is chronic budget deficit supported by debt and inflation, and systemic corruption that weak institutions can't fight.
As an example, we have two ex-presidents-now-senators that are condemned by Justice System but protected by special legal status for senators and congress men.

We had dictator presidents for decades. Park Chung Hee, widely credited with the miracle on the Han, was a dictatorial strongman with little grand plan except that knew protectionist policies would allow Korea to trade favorably, and trade up the industrial ladder from textiles to shipbuilding.
