Argentina 2001: Anatomy of a Default

What would you do if you woke up and your money just disappeared? In this episode, we dive into the story of Argentina’s 2001 meltdown - how a country once full of hope ended up with frozen bank accounts, riots in the streets, and the biggest debt default the world had ever seen.

We’ll break down how bad decisions, false promises, and global pressure turned dreams into disaster - and why the same mistakes could still happen today.

Join us as we unpack the rise and fall of Argentina’s economy, only on Uncoined, Season 2.
