4.0 out of 5 stars The best that can be expected from a small booklet, April 24, 2002

This review is from: Passport Argentina: Your Pocket Guide to Argentine Business, Customs & Etiquette (Passport to the World) (Paperback)

Many a pocket calculator is larger than this booklet and with 88 pages it didn't take me much more than an hour to read.

Then again: it does put a lot of information in the little space available and virtually all of that is spot-on. Also the selection of topics is exactly that which is needed on a first reading.

At the moment where I write this (April 2002), some of the info out of the 2000 edition already seems to be referring to a totally different era. Menem no longer is president and neither is his succesor (or his sucessor for that matter). The times where foreignors were desparate to get into the market and Argentines could dictate terms today seem a distant memory too.

Don't let that put you off from buying this book. If you want to obtain a Ph.D. on Argentology, a small volume like this is insufficient. But if you have a (business) interest in Argentina and would like to get to know the essentials fast, this is the book to buy.
