A four-year recession, a freeze on bank deposits and other capital controls, the largest sovereign default in history, the collapse of its currency board, and a steep devaluation have caused social unrest and widespread violence in a country that was once heralded as a model of emerging-market stability. With no end in sight to that chaotic situation, Eduardo Duhalde, Argentina’s fifth president in a little over a month, has yet to articulate a clear and coherent program for reform. Please join us as our distinguished panel of speakers discuss the options for Argentina as it tries to emerge from a deep political and economic crisis.
