it was taking inflation into account

2018-12-10 18:21:21 UTC  
2018-12-10 18:21:23 UTC  

with inflation

2018-12-10 18:21:24 UTC  

real wages

2018-12-10 18:21:38 UTC  

it was inflation high as 30% and higher

2018-12-10 18:21:44 UTC  

real wages fell

2018-12-10 19:48:04 UTC  

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ No, they only fell at the end of his first term and rose again during his second

2018-12-10 19:48:17 UTC  

in real terms

2018-12-10 19:49:33 UTC  

@The Big Oof in real terms they fell throughout due to the high inflation

2018-12-10 19:51:47 UTC  

What I've seen shows that real wages rose, then fell, then rose again

2018-12-10 19:51:56 UTC  

Doesn't look like that to me

2018-12-10 19:51:59 UTC  

inflation was too big

2018-12-10 19:52:12 UTC  

thats one of the reasons he was overthrown

2018-12-10 19:54:20 UTC  

He was still popular, he came back from exile after being overthrown and served a third term.

I'm not saying that is what makes him good, I'm using it as a counterpoint to the idea of, a ruler being overthrown instantly means that ruler was bad or even unpopular.

Inflation was certainly there, I'm not denying that. I'm saying it was negated by the wage growth.

2018-12-10 19:55:15 UTC  

The majority of Russians opposed the Bolsheviks, but they didn't go anywhere, for example

2018-12-10 19:55:23 UTC  

Didn't he die?

2018-12-10 19:55:25 UTC  

instantly

2018-12-10 19:55:43 UTC  

Dude I don't think wages negated the rise of inflation over 30%

2018-12-10 19:55:47 UTC  

probably didn't rise even 6% or so

2018-12-10 19:55:48 UTC  

No

2018-12-10 19:55:58 UTC  

I mean they increased by 30% in real terms, from what I remember reading

2018-12-10 19:56:05 UTC  

against the US dollar

2018-12-10 19:56:07 UTC  

No

2018-12-10 19:56:09 UTC  

he survived

2018-12-10 19:56:12 UTC  

and fled to Spain

2018-12-10 19:56:15 UTC  

this was in the 50s

2018-12-10 19:56:18 UTC  

he came back

2018-12-10 19:56:20 UTC  

in the 70s

2018-12-10 19:56:28 UTC  

and served part of another term, and died in the middle of it

2018-12-10 19:56:35 UTC  

30% in real terms

2018-12-10 19:56:37 UTC  

don't believe so

2018-12-10 19:56:49 UTC  

I guess we'll have to get back to each other on this

2018-12-10 19:57:32 UTC  

"
1945-1958: These years are marked by continuity in fiscal policy despite political instability. The combination of industrial protectionism, redistribution of income from an agrarian to industrial production, and growing state intervention in the economy sparks an inflationary process. High trade protection shields domestic industry from external competition and enables a fixed exchange rate.

1959-1965: High inflation prompts a stabilization plan that includes tighter monetary policy, a cut in public expenditures, and increases in taxes and utility prices. Wage growth in the early 1960s pushes prices up. The inflation rate increases faster, and soon real wages fall."

2018-12-10 19:57:39 UTC  

Seems to fall in the 60s

2018-12-10 19:57:45 UTC  

but I'll see if I can find the one I read on the 50s

2018-12-10 19:57:51 UTC  

He wasn't in Argentina in the 60s

2018-12-10 19:57:56 UTC  

he was taken out of power in the 50s

2018-12-10 19:58:08 UTC  

came back in the 70s

2018-12-10 19:58:25 UTC  

His trade protectionism, however

2018-12-10 19:58:28 UTC  

was a failure

2018-12-10 19:58:32 UTC  

No doubt about that
