Still thinking about this film this morning, so looked up more info on what happened in Argentina to bring about the collapse of their economy.
There are so many parallels with our current situation and direction, in terms of growing privatization and globalization, extremely high wages for CEO's and very low ones for the workers and cutting of social programs.
Something I found today, that I didn't get from the film, was that the Argeninean government had privatized Social Security a few years before the collapse and that some people, including those at the nonpartisan thinktank Center for Economic and Policy Research believe this played a strong role in Argentina' economic collapse. Yet another reason why we don't want to follow that path.
