Argentina Goes Rogue Again. B.B.W. 4/29/2012

LNachum — Fri, 04 May 2012 16:26:37 +0000

one more article about Argentina insensible economic policies – specifically about trade, and their likely consequences for the Argentine economy. I believe it is a matter of time before this economy collapses (or get close to).

Hi All -Attached is an interesting article about Macy’s incorporating Brazilian culture into 300 of its locations. Of particular interest is that you will see in the last paragraph that Macy’s will now be importing new Brazilian products to sell in its stores, including Natura’s Ekos line.

believe that tells something about how the region is viewed by ‘those that matter’ as the WEF defines its members.

an interesting article on how the President is in fact taking control of Argentina’s Central Bank, and tunring it into a political device. ditto for YPF, the country large oil and gas company, to an extent that has led to talk about re-nationalization of the company.

yet another example of the non-sensible political/economic policies of Argentina, which are certain to get the country nowhere, under the best scenario.

look who’s bringing up the rear
