The economic collapse of Argentina wiped out the middle class and raised the level of poverty to 57.5%. Millions in Argentina were thrown into unemployment, poverty and hunger.

handiwork of Stanley Fischer (today No 2 at the Federal Reserve), in his capacity as a senior officer of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Suffice is to read the opinion of another Nobel prize winner, Paul Krugman, regarding the role of the corrupt US justice system in the socio-economic crisis, engulfing the US since 2008: " ... a system in which only the little people have to obey the law, while the rich, and bankers especially, can
cheat and defraud without consequences."

In a special report by Reuters, Raymond Brescia, a visiting professor at Yale Law School, opines, "...it's difficult to find a fraud of this size on the U.S. court system in U.S. history... where you have literally tens of thousands of fraudulent documents filed in tens of thousands of cases."
