And conversely, articles about Argentina are almost always very negative in tone — they’re irresponsible, they’re renationalizing some industries, they talk populist, so they must be going very badly.

Down Argentina Way

Because: Hmm. I agree credit should be given where credit is due. In the interviews I conducted for my last Businessweek piece, everyone did say the Argentine economy was doing pretty well, especially in comparison with the rest of the world, but there were all these exasperated-sounding comments about how it could be doing so much better. I think it’s like that kid who never applied himself in school growing up. You can say “you could do so well if you applied yourself,” but, if you don’t, you don’t.
