"A recent article in *The Wall Street Journal* tells the tale...

"'Argentina's government has filed criminal charges against the managers of an economic consulting firm,' the paper reads, 'escalating its persecution of independent economists.'

"Apparently a local firm, MyS Consultores, published an inflation figure that was not to the administration's liking...which is to say, a figure probably much nearer to the truth than the “official” reading. The government's own figure is 9.7%, even though you'd be hard pressed to find anybody who thinks it's less than double that. Most economists reckon it's north of 20%. Some say much higher, a notion the government seems to tacitly confirm every time it supports trade unions' collective-bargaining agreements that include annual wage increases of between 20-30%. Curious, no?"
