The Economist, no doubt with a twinge of envy, wrote about a country where economists are big celebrities:

• In Argentina the top celebrity economist has more than four times as many twitter followers as the top actor and the top rock star.
• The best economists date models, are followed by both financial reporters and the paparazzi, and are asked for autographs when they go out in public.
• Their popularity seems to be driven by the uncertain and volatile state of the Argentine economy.
• In a time of crisis people look to the top economists for guidance on how to manage their finances.
