Las Estrellas del Subcontinente

Un par de notas en The Economist sobre los grandes triunfadores de Latinoamérica. La primera sobre Chávez, donde se preguntan si Venezuela se está convirtiendo en una “segunda Cuba”:

EVER since he was first elected as Venezuela's president in 1998, Hugo Chávez has been fond of anti-American rhetoric. American officials long ignored this, preferring to watch what the Venezuelan did rather than what he said. Since Mr Chávez trounced his opponents in a recall referendum last August, not only has he turned up the volume of his “anti-imperialist” pronouncements, but some of his words are turning into deeds. As a result, some in Washington are starting to become alarmed about Mr Chávez and the wider regional implications of his leftist-nationalist “revolution”.


La segunda nota sobre Argentina, el tema del análisis es la reestructuración de la deuda pública:

Argentina appears to have persuaded most of its bondholders to accept a deeply discounted debt-restructuring offer. But the country’s financing problems will continue unless it can coax back capital stashed abroad by its citizens.
