 Jurriaan, the 'revival' in Argentina was due to large scale impoverishment,
via  massive devaluation, (which promoted exports and later roperty sales to
foreigners), and  the theft of dollar savings from the middle classes, not
through the aid of 'new' credit. The underlying issue is always the rate of
exploitation, not credit per se.
