PS: Family background also played a role. I heard stories all my life as a
child about my grandfather working at the State owned airplane factory under
Juan Peron´s term, and what a great advance for the nation it was, all of
which was destroyed after Peron´s overthrow. So, Peron wasn´t a communist,
but certainly believed in State intervention in the economy, a mixed system,
if you prefer.
