There are no heroes in this story, certainly not Argentina’s policymakers, who a decade ago attempted unilaterally to force a massive generalized write-down on foreign bondholders. Economists who trumpeted the “Buenos Aires consensus” as the new way to run economies also look foolish in hindsight.
在这个故事里没有英雄，阿根廷决策者显然不是，十年前他们试图单方面强行对外国债券持有人实施大规模的一般化减记。有些经济学家将“布宜诺斯艾利斯共识”吹成经济运行新方式，事后看来这一观点也是相当愚蠢。国际货币基金组织很早就认识到，2001年不可持续的盯住美元政策崩溃时，它给了阿根廷太多的救命贷款。
