@dragonfelgrand9304 Nah all good buddy. Irony being that a mixed economy simply means letting people try to make money within the context of the law. Factor in some foreign direct investments and the Argentine economy would be off to a roaring start. I was explaining this to my girlfriend the other day, socialist economic policies fail because it can never predict the human mind. Earlier today out of the blue I ordered a pair of hand mittens from Amazon. No chance in hell can a command economy predict that. Mixed economies are like gas combustion engines; contained chaos. All the government needs to do at that point is regulate the private sector from going out of control, but letting the private sector work without intervention is the quickest way to boom an economy and lift people from poverty. I hope someday more people in Argentina will accept this and implement it. If India can do it, then so too can others.

@dragonfelgrand9304 makes sense. I recently learned that India was in the same boat until a recently elected prime minister scrapped their socialist policies and went for a mixed economy instead. Their economy has since been growing, to the point where they can square off against the Chinese military. I mean India has an aircraft carrier loaded with Russian made fighter jets. Those things don't come cheap. I reckon Argentina needs to let go of socialism and incorporate more free market mechanisms.

Is Argentina a socialist country?
