Economic Calamity in South America
After years of recession, Argentina suffered its worst economic crisis ever, which began in December 2001 when the nation defaulted on its $155 billion foreign debt payments, the largest such default, in history. In response, Argentina devalued its peso, which had been pegged to the dollar for a decade. The devaluation plunged the banking industry into crisis and wiped out much of the savings of the middle class. Banking and foreign exchange were suspended. Half of Argentina's 36 million now live in poverty, unemployment has reached 22%, and protests and strikes have multiplied. The IMF (International Monetary Fund) has refused to bail out Argentina as it has in past years, insisting that the nation reform its ineffective economic policies first. But the IMF did not present the same tough love policy to Argentina's ailing neighbours: Uruguay received a modest $500 million and Brazil a record $30 billion.
Three nationwide strikes in Venezuela since December 2001 were a massive protest against the increasing authoritarianism of populist president Hugo Chavez; he was reinstated two days later. But while unions, business organizations, the Catholic church, and the media have called for his resignation, Chavez remained enormously popular among the poor, who cling to his unrealized promises to end poverty and corruption.
