Roachboy, it's quite simple really. If I were a big-time financial investor, or company looking for a place to invest, I would think twice about investing in south-america at the moment. There are enough other countries that promise much better profits. Investors want stable countries that support business; they don't want social changes or high taxes.

You may see this "financial" thinking as bad, but IMO it's a fact of life. I don't think companies would be able to compete if they were to look far beyond the "abstract marketplace". Being socially responsible is good, but not when it's bad for business.
