The documentary divided into twelve parts tells the story of how debt combined with political corruption impoverished a nation that was once so rich that the expression "Wealthy as an Argentine" was once in common use throughout the world.

When the USA took on trillions in debt starting in the early 1980s, did we enter a Dante's hell as Argentina did when it took on its debt under a military dictatorship in the 1970s? Is it only a matter of time before US debts lead inexorably to currency crisis, inflation, and political chaos? The story will strike North Americans as uncomfortably familiar.




And as predicted ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=245275 ) here come the "gold standard" links...


Thus illustrating the gresham's law of social news or something like it.

Blacklists, whitelists, gatekeepers, keyword vector analysis, are there any architectural approaches to delivering 'news you can use' that haven't been tried several times already?


Excuse me, where was gold standard discussed anywhere here?
