What is happening in Argentina now is just a harbinger for a much worse scenario in the coming year . I do not believe that most expats realise how bad it will get there in Buenos Aires when the economy tanks and the peso is worthless . 2001 will be a walk in the park compared to the next crash as there is no world economy to refloatt the argentinian economy due to the soya boom of the first years of Kirchners government.
