It isn’t difficult to see that the Argentine media unit is on the right side of history. People don’t want to see hyperinflation for what it is. A tax on poverty. Seriously, that is what inflation does. It taxes the poorest ones there are. Let’s go a little further, and look at inflation from a control perspective. Money, as such, is a public utility. Much like electricity, or water. You may have noticed that the price of both has gone up, as the value of money has gone down. It isn’t a dif...
