However, the long-lasting recession - in effect since August 1998 - revealed ongoing disproportions and defects of Argentine capitalism and accentuated them even more: the increased dependency on external capital inflows, weak industrial competitiveness caused by institutional, infrastructural and societal deficiencies as well as the - by now contraprodutive - fixation of the Peso to the US-Dollar. A ll of this leads to Argentina being less an less able to overcome the present crisis on her own.</p> ER -
