 In the 90's Argentinians were duped yet again by yet another of their Presidents, this one however was elected. The most most beautiful lie ever they'd ever heard, is how some Argentines have described this period . Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires financial district (not the banking district which is not the same thing), underwent a facelift after more than 100 years of neglect and abandonment. Tons of concrete was laid, supplied by the country´s top concrete producer on the proviso that most of the streets there be named after women and public artworks were by female artists or celebrated women, this is most noteable in Plaza Holandia where you will even find a little statue of young Anne Frank finally soaking up the South American sun. You will discover more than seven different galleries in Puerto Madero, which I consider to be, one of the largest and most expensive art installations in the world (it was barely used as a port). Charlie Mendez a.k.a. Voldemort (he who shall not be named), or the ´Turk´ Carlos Menem famously lifted the Argentine economy once again back to the lofty heights of the Belle Epoch, when Argentina was one of the top three wealthiest countries in the world. Setting the trend of economic peaks and troughs which continues to this day, see the real value of the "ROCA" today, in the graph below, and don't believe that stuffing your mattress with US currency is going to save you and your family either.
