Not to sound like an alarmist, but if Massa wins the presidential election in Argentina I'm not sure I see a way of the country ending up like Venezuela 2.0; that is, unless he adopts an El Salvador-like strategy of accepting the world's strongest fiat along with the future of money.

Things are by no means perfect in El Salvador, but the financial infrastructure for the country to thrive has been laid in place. The blueprint could be easily copied by either winning candidate, to be honest.

Argentinians would also be wise to study the case study of Ecuador's dollarization 20 years ago. Argentina can convert a lot faster, no doubt.
