A retort to Tom Hennigan, on the day the elections begin in Argentina
10th of July 2011
To the editor of the Irish Times
Madam,
Today the elections began here in Buenos Aires. Two weeks back I was in Ireland giving a talk on the financial crisis in Ireland. The enclosed response was requested by many colleagues in Dublin who asked me my opinion on the Tom Hennigan articles on the Argentina default.
I hope you might find it of interest,
Tony Phillips
Buenos Aires, Argentina.
