Argentina’s relies heavily on commodity exports like soybeans for revenue, and commodities are getting crushed. It’s clear that the country’s 40% inflation rate is putting Argentines on guard. They’re carrying lots of cash around, and because they carry around all that cash, Argentina has become the robbery capital of Latin America.”
