The Kirchners lifted Argentina out of the deep crisis of 2001, presiding over GDP growth rates similar to those of China. They partly restored Argentina’s social and political fabric, which had been weakened by the brutal adjustments made during that crisis, which triggered a president’s fall from power, default on the country’s debts, and a dramatic decline in living standards that left more than half of the population below the poverty line.
赫尔南曾在2001年成功地将阿根廷带出了深度危机，让阿根廷的经济增长率能够和中国相媲美。从某种程度上说，赫尔南重塑了被危机期间的无情调整严重削弱的阿根廷社会和政治生态——当时导致了总统下台、国债违约、生活质量严重下降、一半以上人口陷入贫困的后果。赫尔南阵营的经济管理（如大面积补贴）减少了失业和贫困。
