In this episode, we discuss Argentina’s worsening economic crisis and ongoing negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Argentina is facing historic annual rates of inflation that have reached over 100% this past June. How did Argentina’s situation become this dire? How is Economic Minister Sergio Massa, who is set to be the ruling Peronist coalition’s candidate for the October presidential elections, dealing with this? Dr. Benjamin Gedan, director of Wilson Center’s Latin America Program and its Argentina Project, and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University, joins us today to discuss these questions.
