Unless Americans want America to look like Argentina. Nationalization has a not a great story almost anywhere.
Regulatory measures are what can force bean counters to respond.
- peter-m80 3y agoArgentina is an American country. Perhaps you want to say United States instead of America.
- jagged-chisel 3y agoEh. A large part of the world simply calls the USA “America” and then refers to other North and South American countries by name. It’s a known convention.
- panarky 3y agoIs that how Argentines speak?
- jagged-chisel 3y agoI do not have knowledge about whether they are in the set “large part of the world” or outside of it.
- Andrex 3y ago> Unless Americans want America to look like Argentina. Nationalization has a not a great story almost anywhere. The airline industry has already been nationalized once before. I don't think it was the end of USA. "Just look at <X> country" is also a really poor, unintelligent argument to make.
- irusensei 3y agoJust look at Y continent then? South America is rich with all degrees of Argentina.
- jampekka 3y agoPlenty of great stories of nationalized industry all over.
- hawthornio 3y agoNazi germany privatized vast swaths of their economy (steel, rail, etc.) [1]. So you want america to look like Nazi Germany? /s This is not a serious analysis of history. Besides, a large number of countries (e.g., Sweden, Norway, France) have more public ownership of corporations than Argentina. 1. http://www.ub.edu/graap/nazi.pdf http://www.ub.edu/graap/nazi.pdf
- hawthornio 3y agoCoincidentally, the state of France holds around a tenth of Airbus stock
- AlbertCory 3y agoIndeed, as I recall, government owning part of a company, not all, is a fairly common practice worldwide. It recognizes that the company is quasi-governmental, as Boeing is. Is this "better?" I don't know, but for an extremely large, capital-intensive, national security-critical industry, it might be the least bad solution (and no, I'm not a socialist).
- wg0 3y ago>Nazi germany privatized vast swaths of their economy (steel, rail, etc.) [1]. So you want america to look like Nazi Germany? /s And how exactly that privatisation is at all related to fascism? The argument is totally irrelevant. Let's turn this on its head: Most of American corporations are privately/publicly (and not the government) so does America right now look like Nazi Germany?
- arrosenberg 3y agoArgentina's economic problems have to do with its level of historical development compared to it's current economic potential. The same problems seem to occur cyclically whether things are nationalized or privatized.
