Don't Cry for Evita, by Bill Bonner, The Daily Reckoning, 12 May 2006
"Juan Peron ... greatly admired the way Mussolini had handled Italy, some of which he had seen firsthand during officer training in the 1930s. In 1943, when he met Eva, Peron wanted to do in Argentina what Mussolini had been able to do in Italy - line up the support of the working classes and take control of the government." |

The Way of All Cash, Part I, by Bill Bonner, The Daily Reckoning, 26 May 2006
"At the opening of the 20th century, Argentine farmers enjoyed a land of milk and honey ... Argentina was spared the cultural decline of Europe. ... Its armies never got into either world war. It never suffered a great depression in the '30s. Life in Buenos Aires was safe and civilized ... But then, suddenly, the people of the pampas too caught the populist bug." |
The Way of All Cash, Part II, by Bill Bonner, The Daily Reckoning, 2 Jun 2006
"Before World War II, Argentina exported beef and farm products the way France now exports champagne and petit fours. ... the Argentines are resilient. The economy has been recovering for the last three years. In 2003, the economy grew at a rate even India would be proud of: 8.4%. ... The country would probably prosper, if the Perónistas would just leave it alone." |
