She died of cancer in 1952 at the age of thirty-three" (Juan 2006).
Although she became immensely popular with the working class of Argentina and with woman there as well, she could be as ruthless and vengeful as her husband Juan. "Eva was very vindictive and used her new position as first lady to have all those who snubbed her blacklisted.... 'Time' ran an article stating that Eva was an illegitimate child, it was banned in Argentina for four months.
Eva and Juan shut down any newspapers that opposed them and ruled Argentina with an iron hand" (Eva 2003).
Evita was an excellent example of being a very popular politician, accomplishing many things that helped her people, while at the same time she caused a lot of pain and anguish to those who crossed her, or disagreed with her opinions. She wielded her power for good and bad.
There have been many such presidents and vice presidents that have done the same in Argentina and since the 1890's the country has seen turmoil, dictatorships, military rule and conversely growth and economic viability that has astounded the region.
Early on in Argentina's history many of the individuals that ran the government turned to the printing press when they needed any money...
This caused there to be an inordinate amount of pesos in the circulation and added to the country's huge debt. Many of the presidents and dictators since the early 1900's have continued to use that same power in order to finance their visions for Argentina. The country is still saddled with huge debt and financial mismanagement, but under their current leadership, at least some fiscal responsibility is being enforced.
Financial and political predictions are difficult at best, but it seems that considering the will power of the citizenry of Argentina and the fact that Kirchner seems to be doing a pretty good job so far, it could be predicted that the economy will continue to recover, that economic growth will remain strong and Argentines will achieve a level of financial freedom heretofore unheard of.
The impoverished level has been reduced from over 57% to 25% in less than three years, and if this trend were to continue a vast majority of Argentines will be able to live a lifestyle of comfort, or at least not live in poverty.

2012 Argentina The economic boom that ran until 2011 has officially ended in Argentina. While the rapid growth is largely thought to have been the result of Chinese purchase of grain exports, the Argentine government saw it as a vindication of their expansionary policies and welfare state ambitions. The country's GDP growth rate is expected to slow down to 2.2% in 2012, from the 8.9% last year (Oppenheimer, 2012). Chinese grain
