Episode notes
Massa's surprising turnaround as Argentina's economy minister has led to an increase in annual inflation from 79% to 138% and a rise in the price of $1 from 300 bistles to 1000 bistles on the black market.

The lack of political consensus, including an independent central bank, has led to the printing of bistles to finance the fiscal deficit.
