Didn't Juan Peron die in 1974?  The Argentine collapse wasn't until the late 90s with a lot of poor leadership in between.

I'm quite optimistic about Venezuela's chances.  They might very end up in better shape than the US - at least those who don't spend their money on second homes in Florida.

Peron was in power from 1946 to 1955, nine years, and it was wholly after the collapse of wheat prices caused by artificial fertilisers and crop mechanisation had destroyed Argentina's market position.
But he was the only populist they could blame things on, so he got the blame.
