YPF: The Argentine emotional default
In the presentation Benegas will talk about his book on the oil company and how the company´s re-nationalization process was. Which were the real motives and how does the issue of Argentine emotional nationalism play and why the author considers that this is a disease that makes impossible for the country to get out of its backwardness.
