Speaking of EM: Upcoming Argentina Election (Podcast)

(Bloomberg) -- This Sunday, Argentines head to the polls in one of 2019’s most anticipated elections. Much has happened since the Aug. 11 primary, when opposition candidate Alberto Fernandez trounced President Mauricio Macri by 16 percentage points.
