" there are four kinds of countries: developed countries, underdeveloped countries, Japan, and Argentina." -- Simon Kuznets

  Kuznets' quote is about international finance. Not social unrest. The factors that lead Argentina to collapse are uniquely Argentinian. What happened after that is unsurprising.

    >Kuznets' quote is about international finance. >Not social unrest. This is a contradiction. You said social unrest is caused by financial collapse. International finance in a globally integrated economy like Argentina then necessarily becomes a piece of the financial collapse that causes unrest.

      Can’t tell if you’re trolling at this point, but it’s not a contradiction, and you’ve ignored the numerous counterfactuals more applicable to America.

        Lol while we're going with the troll accusation (yeah I realize you said "trolling" not "troll" but it's just a back-door to the ad-hominem attack), I'd like to point out the person refusing the relation of the banking measures which came immediately before the riots (and even have a wikipedia page which describes the subsequent anger and violence) as somehow being not a cause of the unrest, is a self described ex "investment banker." Who'd of guessed it.
