IMO Argentina was a victim of a fraud of similar unscrupulousness as Suma was. The IMF and World Bank come in and loan a country money on the basis of it's agreement to sign over it's natural resources as collateral and make it's economic system subject to structural adjustments. Long story short the country ends up losing it's rights to it's natural resources because of default.

How much time have you actually spent in Argentina?

I lived there for 3 years in late 90s and traveled there last year and have friends there and IMO, your conclusions seem to be somewhat harsh compared to what I have seen and learned first hand.

Buenos Aires is a wonderful place to vacation.
