The "cone" countries of southern South America ? Argentina, Chile, Uruguay ? aren’t doing too badly, in an upper-tier-Third-World kind of way: 2011 per capita GDP $17.7K, $17.4K, $15.3K. For sure you won 't go hungry in any of them: good farm land (all right, Chile not so much), long sea coasts (all right, Uruguay not so much … but look, they can share).
I have for some years been mentioning Uruguay as a nice bolt-hole for anyone who thinks the balloon is going to go up: see here, here, and here.
I should have kept my mouth shut. The secret’s leaking out. Soon the riff-raff will all be heading down there. My reply to the reader who emailed me that link was: "Shhhh!"
(And to Dan Prescher’s puzzlement over the odd prevalence of left-handedness in Uruguay ? why, it’s the southern hemisphere, isn’t it? Coriolis effect, see?)
