As an Argentinian, here are my two cents on this matter:

1) From reading this article, one could asume commercial and financial regulations change by the hour, while in fact is the opposite.

   We have a gargantuan commercial code of byzantine
   complexity that has not really been modified in the
   last 50 years.

   We also have a terribly regressive and unfair tax
   system that includes 21% VAT even for food products
   and wealth tax even for salaried employees with 
   more than 1400 dollars of monthly income.
2) It is my sincere wish, from the bottom of my heart, that "entrepreneurs" (I doubt they deserve the honor if being called that) who operate "en negro" rot in jail. They are bringing all of us down with their disregard for the rule of law and they are increasing the costs of doing bussiness for those of us who pay taxes.

   Regardless of the recurrent crises, starting up a 
   successful tech company here is possible, as proven
   by Globant, OfficeNet, MercadoLibre, et al.
