Please show me where I ever said:

"privitization and deregulation are the solution
to ALL economic ills". (emphasis on the word _ALL_)
You are putting words in my mouth.

In fact, the WHOLE point of my argument is that
(despite their beneficial effects) the reforms
in Argentina weren't sufficient to overcome other
more severe issues Argentina was facing.

Again, I took nothing as a "given".
You denigrate my source, but at least I took
the trouble to find a source.
You have provided NOTHING!
So we are far from "equal" in this discussion!

And, if you had read my source carefully,
it cites high GDP growth statistics in
Argentina after the reforms were implemented,
but before the currency crisis erupted.
DO YOU DISPUTE THOSE FACTS?
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUR FACTS?

Now, in this post, you say:

"I haven't proven the reforms had no positive effect".

This contradicts your "original point".

Thus, you have contradicted yourself!
