The article argues that amid socialist pressures in the United States, Southern Hemisphere nations like Chile and Argentina show free market gains. It highlights Chile’s inflation cut and growth under a Pinochet-era effort toward a democratic order, while Argentina’s 1970s shift curbs inflation from 900 to about 120 percent and returns state enterprises to private hands. It suggests Americans discontent could seek refuge in Buenos Aires as price controls loom in Washington.
