| nope, same problem. You're in social sciences amigo. Case study analysis exists by comparing like examples. It's not a pure science in which a case can be studied in isolation. |

No, you pay the bank off first.
Seems like you guys need a lesson in layman economics... |
Never said you might not have to pay the bank. Seems like you need a lesson in reading. |

Nonsense. Argentina screwed herself by pegging her currency to the US dollar (to fight hyperinflation that had reached 150%/month) and then flooding her economy with credit. The logical thing happened and the currency collapsed and then IMF lent it money (which was to pay back the debts that Argentina had run up on international markets) provided Argentina made some reforms. The reforms is what Klein discusses at the start of The Take and the rest of the movie is about a bunch of peasants stealing factories.
Argentina was very wealthy at one time. Years of military rule and economic mismanagement screwed it up. Blaming the IMF is nuts. |

inusuk...lets see.
My first appartment here (not the one we bought) we paid key money and would have gotten it back regardless of the economy because we had a clear contract, insurance and did our homework.
Other people invest key money more blindly, then if they economy crashes and they leave, they might not get it back.
Then again, only a complete moron would plunk down a chunk of key money before making damn sure it was protected money and insured.
But hey...it is a yes no question right so carry on. |
