Chile sounds nice.

Now let's compare it to this

Here's the other bit I couldn't cover https://ibb.co/m8dnEp

@Pino Sinatra
I love how you send a graph that shows Chile's average incoming falling far, far below the Latin American average *under the Pinochet regime*, and then tout around the accomplishments of governments after him as his work.

You also are being a little short sighted here

one minute

While wages fell and the economy entered a period of instability, wages began growing after 1952 and had reached higher values than what they previously were @Pino Sinatra

Compare this to pinochet

Who

For some reason, is touted around as a success

implemented policies of currency stabilization that left 45% of his country poor, and, with the graph you just showed, oversaw two recessions and an overall loss in income @Pino Sinatra

idk maybe it has something to do with lowering the inflation over 400%

Vietnam does the same thing, and it works for them

Hold on, I think you misread that

I misread that as raising inflation, not lowering it

Sometimes inflation is intentionally raised to increase employment

You should aim to keep the value of your currency respectable, but it shouldn't be your only concern, which was the mistake Pinochet made, a mistake that left millions of people poor

45% of the country

lol

He was a terrible leader

Peron made some mistakes, but overall, he did way more good than bad

Yes, the economy entered a period of instability, but he took actions to correct those mistakes and they worked

One of his biggest mistakes is that he was an isolationist, believing a third world war was on the horizon

At the time it made sense

Looking back now, it was kind of stupid

(Peron)

I insist founding the central bank was the worst thing to do

It did seem likely, though, this was in the cold war

Videla tried the same thing as Pinochet, and nobody argues against the statement "Videla was shit"

maybe because Argentina has never got back from that poor situation afterwards

I mean...

It's average income is about the same as Chile's, though 2,000 dollars might be worth more in Latin America

Argentina had to go through 2 military juntas

I don't know anything about the first one other than they were unpopular because they tried to erase Peron from the picture

The second one, led by Videla, was fucking terrible

You mean Alberto Teissaire?

He was the vice president, right?

No

yes,he was

I meant the one by Videla

no no
