“China Supports Argentina in Falklands Dispute” is quite literally a 29 year old story. But thanks for the reminder.
I have always had the notion that when there is a lot of opacity, i.e., too little trust, people herd goats. It is in societies where people have a lots of trust, and know that laws and institutions will function the way they expect, where finance and capital markets develop. There may be examples that seem to confirm the reverse, but overall, I think increasing opacity is a recipe for less finance in the future.
