The name Decada Infame was due to a peronista propaganda book of 1947. There were some acts of corruption and electoral fraud but no mass murders. Not very different to the later “décadas”.
As for BA today, culturally is very active, with many theater plays both on and off Avenida Corrientes, courses, restaurants of all styles, great museums and more bookstores than NY. We feel and see the crisis but cultural activity is rampant.
I love finding old pictures of Buenos Aires. As an argentinian, it feels like an encounter with beauty and nostalgia for a time I've never lived. The city is still so beautifull, only that we, the people that live here, are confronted with so much structural problems that make the life tough. We still enjoy life, art and culture like any other city, thanks to a Psychological phenomenon called "habituation". Cheers from BS.AS!
Is there a blog or a stack in English that talks about what is now happening in Argentina under Millei? What has changed, and how it's affecting regular people? I have looked but no luck so far...
You cannot have culture without prosperity to create the wealth it requires to thrive. Government crowds out prosperity as the mention of inflation should remind us. Government spent more than it could claim from the people’s productive effort.
workers rights were introduced in 1949, are you against that? people were basically being treated as slaves before that. most of this information isn't accurate and it was used as fake news to get a far right government elected. can you stop spreading fake news? do your due diligence before writing this type of crap about a country you have no clue about. thank you.
Good article as usual, but the paragraph about "anarchism and communist ideals" was shoe-horned in. Peron wasn't a Marxist, so imply anarchists and communists are to blame for the regression of Argentina's economy?

Your articles are all about western civilization. Are you unaware of others, or you don't have any expertise in them?
Excellent article, I never knew any of this about Argentina.
What was the main economic force in the early 20th century? Commodities, I think, but which commodity? Meat?
