Menem and the Populist Tradition in Argentina
By: Rafael M. Di Tella and Eliseo Neuman
Abstract
Argentina has flourished under a fixed exchange rate system, yet there are large income and employment fluctuations. The social cost of unemployment is threatening the viability of the economic model. Building a welfare state is one alternative, but this may be a return to the populist policies of the past.
