This method is quite common, the most typical of which is to rely on this method to successfully destroy the Russian economy just after the Soviet Union collapsed.
At that time, Russia knew that it had been fooled. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret. The wealth of the disintegration of the Soviet Union was robbed by the United States.
Nothing else, the Americans are the best at doing this kind of economic plunder.
The same is true for the Americans in Latin America.
Latin American countries used to have an economic development model based on state-owned economies, but in the eyes of American capital groups, this is a typical backward nationalist economic development model that does not conform to the market economy and must be thoroughly reformed.
What they said was to help the development of Latin American countries, but they had only one goal in mind: how to plunder as much wealth as possible from these countries. How to use the printed dollar white bars to exchange for real gold and silver, for mineral resources, and for factory land.
Take Argentina as an example. After the Second World War, it was ruled by the Nilonist party for a long time. It advocated political independence and economically advocated economic sovereignty, independence and social justice. Their political program was similar to that of European Social Democrats. In addition to social reforms to the traditional capitalist system, the government is required to intervene in the economy when necessary, to implement nationalization, and to implement comprehensive social welfare policies to protect the interests of labor, with particular emphasis on the independent development of national industries. It is necessary to protect the national interests, implement import substitution policies, and take active measures to promote the development of state-owned enterprises and national industries.
Under this series of policies, Argentina's science, technology and industrial manufacturing level has made rapid progress. It has not only been able to build nuclear power plants, but also established some industrial foundations suitable for the development of modern industries. Among the few Latin American countries with a relatively large middle class, the economic level is among the top countries, and social welfare and medical security are also among the forefront of Latin American countries. The standard of living in the 1970s was equivalent to the upper-middle standard of the average living standard of European countries.
Argentina's economy is also the best in Latin America.
But the Americans are here.
U.S. experts saw that you can’t do it this way. An economy like yours cannot continue to develop. You must carry out "neoliberalization" economic reforms.
At that time, the domestic development was very good, so it was very difficult to change all at once.
On the one hand, the United States has cultivated a large number of "American parrots" there, and used them to vigorously promote the achievements of the United States in economic development and the "neoliberal" economic development model promoted by the United States; The government, change people who can implement the American "neo-liberal" economic policies to come to power.
In the back garden of the United States, no one else will make trouble, and the forces of the Soviet Union will not infiltrate. Therefore, the Americans have continued to propagate South America since World War II, and finally it was effective in the 1970s.
Argentina began to take power as a military government. They abolished long-term trade protection and industrialization measures, fully opened up commodity markets and capital markets to foreign capital, and brutally suppressed labor and trade union organizations. Argentine privatization started with manufacturing. , Began to be resisted by nationalists and unemployed workers. Tens of thousands of people were kidnapped, assassinated and disappeared because of their dissident political views and opposition to their political and economic policies.
In the above process, in order to implement privatization as soon as possible, the United States has exhausted all its tactics, including instigating rebellion, using time, murder, politics, and media guidance.
What are the benefits of privatization of Argentina for the United States
Of course there are benefits. The dollar white bar printed by the Federal Reserve is most effective at this time. The funds of the American capital group are swarming to devour the mineral resources of Argentina and the stocks of banks and financial institutions. Buy as much as you want. Resources are scarce, banknotes are printed by themselves, and the process of spending dollars is a huge profit process.
At the same time, in this process, the Argentine government has also begun to quickly confess, as long as internal and external collusion, the leaders of these state-owned enterprises, etc., can obtain huge wealth.
After all, the process of selling state-owned enterprises is the process by which officials get rich. The larger and more companies are sold, the greater the benefit to the government officials.
**Officials have tasted the sweetness of selling state-owned enterprises by colluding with foreign capital. They can get huge rebates in secret by selling state-owned enterprises at a discount. Greed and self-interest gradually corroded the nationalist tradition and formed a bureaucratic comprador class keen on privatization. Since then, the wave of privatization has swept across Argentina. .
The rapid influx of a large amount of foreign capital into an economy will inevitably lead to false prosperity in the economy in the short term, rapid GDP growth, and rapid increase in people's income.
At this time, everyone agrees with American economics and feels that American economic policies have allowed them to live a good life.
Excessive income growth, coupled with Latin Americans’ natural optimistic attitude towards life, enabled Argentines to learn the American way of life, using tomorrow’s and the day after tomorrow’s money today. People's living standards have improved too fast, production can't keep up, and very serious economic problems have appeared. So inflation followed like a shadow and came like a nightmare.
An economy that relies on the sale of national resources and wealth, and an economy that relies on the inflow of foreign capital to grow, cannot last forever. There will always be a day when national resources are sold out, and the Argentines who have lived a good life for more than ten years will start to have a nightmare day. When the Americans basically plundered Argentina's wealth, these funds began to withdraw with huge profits suddenly and on a large scale, which would lead to the outbreak of a financial crisis in Argentina.
This is the entire process of privatization. In the food chain, everyone eats what they need and what they need. The United States realizes American national interests, American capital realizes capital interests, and Argentine comprador elites realize their interests-you know, if they don't betray the country, they won't be able to make this money. The only tragic thing is Argentina, and the people of Argentina, who are the last to pay the bill.
This is the reason for the current economic problems in Argentina. In the later generations, the Argentines did not wake up. On the contrary, they continued to betray the country because they could no longer control it.
After privatization, the Argentine government completely relied on foreign investment and entry to promote economic growth. It recklessly adopted an open policy that was more deeply involved in globalization. It also further liberalized investment restrictions and privatization, and sold a large number of state-owned enterprises to attract foreign investment. The inflow.
Argentina eventually changed from a first-rate country to a second-rate country, and then from a second-rate country to a third-rate country. It was just such a process.
Andre’s analysis made Galtieri’s face slowly irritated. When Andre analyzed it clearly, Galtieri thought of those economic experts in his government who were actively encouraging the state-owned government. The privatization of enterprises thinks that privatization is the good medicine. Only now I know that after World War II, Argentina, which was originally a world-class, became what it is now because of the economic aggression of the Americans.
Now that the Americans have completely abandoned them again, the Americans have not regarded Argentina as a friend at all, they just want to use Argentina!
Thinking of this, Galtieri said: "So, what can you bring us?"
With a smile on Andrei's face, he knew he had succeeded.
