"Cambio!" – A study of economic instability in Buenos Aires, Argentina

This thesis attempts to describe some of the techniques that are employed to preserve economic value in Argentina, when the peso looses its purchasing power through inflation, and the exchange rate towards the US dollar is weakened by devaluations. A topic related to this is how people get information about the value development of the national currency. Thus, the research question of this thesis is: How is economic value conceptualized and preserved in the volatile economic climate of Argentina?
