The truth is; many countries (known examples; US, China, India, Turkey, Argentina) , significantly manipulate inflation and jobless stats, by playing with the contents and weight of the baskets used or definitions of job seekers/willingness to work.
The economist's spotlight on Argentina is due to the British establishment's dislike of the currently elected Argentinian government and England/Argentina tensions of the past decades.
- wslh 13y ago> The economist's spotlight on Argentina is due to the British establishment's dislike of the currently elected Argentinian government and England/Argentina tensions of the past decades. Indeed the current situation in Argentina is very extreme in terms of democracy: people being prosecuted for thinking differently, the government building an explicit criminal association. The conflict with the Falklands is finished and the Argentinisn government uses it as smokescreen.
