I was surprised to see Chile and Peru so far below Argentina. All the news pieces that I see make Argentina sound like a communist dystopia.

Anyone know whether the Startup Chile program (where foreign startups basically get a cash handout to physically relocate to Chile) is likely to have an impact on this chart?




Argentina is indeed a strange case, a capitalist society coexisting with a socialist trending communist government.

In practice, most companies manage to navigate ("hack" :) ) the increasingly ludicrous government impositions, and most know (or hope) many will be lifted once the government changes hand (or another crisis explodes, which doesn't seem far off).

Some do quit, it was interesting to read about the entrepreneurs behind Wash.io having started a company in Argentina before, and quitting because it was so much work for so little benefit:
