My soul heals when reading this lines. There are other people out there that believe in the eventual breakup of the EU? Nation states a flawed concept? Feeling trapped because every little mistake could get punished? Gosh, Mara, you're speaking to my heart. I'm also in the process of leaving a very safe highGDP country in the EU by setting up residency in PY and literally everbody thinks I'm freaking crazy and I only tell this to my conspiracy theorists friends and even they think I'm nuts LOL your blog is totally underrated

Great article and spot on target. Private property has always been respected in Argentina. People thought I was completely crazy to start buying up massive amounts of residential and commercial real estate in Buenos Aires after the corralito in 2002. But I took a look at the laws and history and property rights are respected there.

I also talked to several politicians that I met and one thing I noticed was they owned MASSIVE amounts of real estate. So did their families (immediate and extended families). As well as all their friends.

Argentina is a chaotic country but those that can arbitrage off this craziness and inefficiency will always come out ahead in a country like Argentina.
