Argentina is an interesting case study at the mnoemt. You are correct – the government is stopping citizens from buying dollars on the black market (read free market ) and also restricting and in most cases making it impossible to buy US dollars legally with the local peso. The politicians are claiming that only a small group of people have anything to do with the dollar, all other Argentines don’t have anything to do with it. True patriots use the peso, “we have to support Argentina at this difficult time” they say.Well in today’s edition of La Nacion, they investigate the peso and dollar holdings of the each of the leading politicians in Argentina. in the La Nacion shows that most of these politicians hold their cash in US dollars not pesos. You should be able to figure out how the chart works and what it means.The people are very unhappy!!
