Domingo Cavallo- Visiting Professor at Stern School of Business- New York University But...Do you know who he is?

Director of the Argentinean Central Bank (1982) during the last Military Dictatorship.

Minister of Finance (1991-1996) during the Presidency of Carlos Menem. Promoted aggressive privatization by a highly irregular process that weakened the Argentinean economy.

Minister of Economy during De la Rúa’ s administration (2001). To "balance" public accounts, he reduced the already low salaries of the public sector. The social situation prompted popular uprising and generalized riots against the government. De la Rúa and Cavallo along with other officers were forced to resign.

From April to June 2002 he was jailed for alleged participation in illegal weapon sales. The case remains open.
