Currency Crises of Argentina and Brazil

Abstract: A 7 page paper discussing the conditions leading to the currency crises of Argentina in 2002 and Brazil in 1999. Political instability in Argentina and a decade of hyperinflation in Brazil in large part led to government-led money-grabs in each country; Argentina even nationalized personal bank accounts in 2001. A leading fault of each was rampant government spending, without consideration for repaying the crushing debt. Similarities with current (2009) actions in the US are clear. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
