Argentina’s wealth gap: Barbarians at the gate
RESIDENTS of the Mayling Country Club, a gated community on the outskirts of Buenos Aires that boasts tennis courts, a polo field and a private restaurant, often carp about the Pinazo river, which runs through four holes of their verdant 18-hole golf course. If one doesn’t aim carefully, the river, which is flanked by weeping willows and navigated by ducks, swallows all the balls launched its way.A few miles downstream, residents of Pinazo, an informal settlement that has sprung up along the riverbank, have very different complaints. During heavy rains the river overflows, inundating their makeshift aluminium-and-brick homes with sewage. Its gangs are so tough that even police fear to go in, says Pablo Atchabahian, the local health-secretary.Such inequality is the norm in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, where a quarter of Argentina’s 40m citizens live. For the majority, life is hard. Less than half of homes have sewerage and a quarter lack access to piped water. A third have no gas; almost as many stand on unpaved streets. But amid this poverty, islands of luxury are popping up. A report by the...

Farming in Colombia: Conflict’s harvest
NAVIGATING Colombia’s mountainous countryside was even harder than usual for three weeks in the summer, when thousands of farmers blocked roads to protest about poor conditions in rural areas. The immediate causes of their anger were expensive fertiliser and recent free-trade deals with the United States and Europe. But their protest has drawn attention to deeper problems in Colombia’s countryside, caused by decades of armed conflict and official neglect.In the scramble to quell the protest the government has negotiated with coffee growers, milk producers and potato and rice farmers, giving in to many of their demands in the face of plunging approval-ratings and looming elections next year. On October 7th it imposed temporary tariffs and quotas on imports of potatoes, onions, beans, tomatoes, powdered milk, fresh cheese, milk and whey. And on October 19th, facing the threat of new protests, it began purchasing 3,000 tonnes of potatoes directly from farmers at better-than-market prices.Meeting every week in different cities, farmers and government officials are hoping to formulate a national agricultural policy by the...

Brazil’s oil auction: Cheap at the price
SIX years after discovering giant offshore “pré-sal” oil deposits, so called because they lie beneath a thick layer of salt under the ocean bed, Brazil has finally auctioned the rights to develop some of its deeply buried wealth. On October 21st the Libra field, off Rio de Janeiro’s coast (see map), was sold to a consortium led by Petrobras, Brazil’s state-controlled oil firm, and including France’s Total, Anglo-Dutch Shell and China’s state-owned CNOOC and CNPC. Libra’s estimated 8 billion-12 billion barrels of recoverable oil make it the biggest oil prospect in the world to be auctioned this year. Once it reaches peak production, sometime in the next decade, it should increase Brazil’s output from 2.1m to about 3.5m barrels per day.At times simply holding the auction seemed an achievement. A flurry of unsuccessful legal challenges marked the run-up. As it was under way in a Rio beachside hotel, soldiers outside used rubber bullets and tear gas to hold back striking oil workers, masked anarchists and union activists opposed to private-sector participation in the oil business. Hundreds of troops formed a human chain to the...

The Canada-EU trade deal: Atlantic accord
THE timing looked suspicious when Stephen Harper, Canada’s prime minister, flew to Brussels on October 17th to announce, alongside the head of the European Commission, that a long-awaited trade deal between Canada and the EU had been struck in principle. Less than 24 hours earlier Mr Harper had unveiled his government’s plans for the coming year, and he had been expected to stick around to defend them. Meanwhile, a long-rumbling scandal over expenses-fiddling by senators had come to a head over the summer, and opposition parties were looking forward to grilling the prime minister now that parliament had finally resumed.The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the EU is certainly being born in difficult political circumstances for Canada’s ruling Conservatives. Yet there is evidence to support Mr Harper’s claim that, once finalised, it will be “the biggest deal our country has ever made”.Canada has forged trade or investment pacts in the past with more important or populous trading partners than the EU. In 1987 it cut the first of various deals with the United States, with whom it does most of its trade. Last year it signed a foreign-investment protection agreement with China, more than twice as populous as Europe. But no previous deal rivals the broad sweep of CETA, which not only addresses conventional customs barriers—eliminating 99% of...
