Terrorism versus Capitalism? Consequences for Argentina and selected Hispanic countries
Keywords:
Capitalismo, Terrorism, Public PerceptionAbstract
In a program of political analysis of a television channel in the city of Buenos Aires - conducted by a prestigious academic and journalist - a survey called "televoting" is carried out. The Sunday following that of the attack in London on July 7, 2005 (J-7) was raised as a dilemma for the survey: "What is the worst enemy of humanity: terrorism or capitalism?". The surprise caused by the question raised was only overcome by the result of the survey: something like 67% replied that humanity's worst enemy is capitalism and the rest, or 33%, voted for terrorism. The purpose of this essay is to analyze, in the first place, the relevance of the proposed option; second, the result of the survey and the implications regarding capitalism and; thirdly, the economic position of Argentina in relation to selected Latin American countries.
