“‘Are you kidding?’ said an Argentine friend. ‘Nobody wants to save pesos. You get them. You spend them.’ ‘I’ve seen this show before,’ said another friend. ‘I was here in Argentina in the 1980s, when we had inflation of 1,000% per month. And I was in Moscow when the Soviet Union fell apart. Inflation hit about 800% there in 1993. I see signs of a big takeoff in inflation again. Watch out.’ But for well-to-do Argentines, the quality of life here must be among the highest in the world. There are dozens of restaurants within a five-minute walk. You can sit outside. The weather is nice. And prices are cheap, if you convert your money on the black market.”
