he survived

and fled to Spain

this was in the 50s

he came back

in the 70s

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

30% in real terms

don't believe so

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

"
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."

Seems to fall in the 60s

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

He wasn't in Argentina in the 60s

he was taken out of power in the 50s

came back in the 70s

His trade protectionism, however

was a failure

No doubt about that

He was expecting a third world war

it made sense at the time

But it didn't work

The idea was to make Argentina self sufficient in the event of it

I'm not saying he was the perfect leader, I'm saying that overall, he succeeded. He failed in some areas for sure

Yes his policies

continued to that

The inflation

economic bubble

dude Argentina was one of the most richest before him

Hyperinflation was far worse under Videla's attempts to create a free market economy. Not all of that is attributable to Peron.

Also

he was taken out of power in

55, I think?

came back

in 73

I'm reading some lolbert site and the graph they use even shows the wages going up under his regime, and going down after he was taken out

yeah, I need to validate these sources, but they're all more or less saying the same thing @sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ

Videla didn't create a free market economy

or try to

It's the same way people say Hoover was Laisez faire

well, anyway

I may have been presenting the 30% figure unintentionally misleading
