Argentines turn to bartering clothes and food to combat high inflation

2022-10-04 2

Argentines gather in Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo for an improvised barter fair to exchange goods and protest high inflation and low wages. "We are doing it so that the government can see the situation we are in, that the salary we have is not enough for anything", says Felix, a bartering participant. This exchange method was very common in Argentina during the 2001 economic crisis.
