I don’t know whether Argentina 🇦🇷 will succeed in avoiding another default in the near future, but if a default does occur, it will likely be even messier than the previous ones.

But these days I’ve also been thinking about another terrible September 11: September 11, 1973, the day of the Chilean coup. While traveling, I finally read The Chile Project by Sebastian Edwards cover to cover (I had only skimmed it before).

Most of us remember exactly where we were on September 11, 2001.
My wife and I were teaching at the American University of Beirut at the time. I was in the economics department, she at the school of public health on the other side of campus.
