Turning to garbage dumps to survive, Argentines feel the pain of 100% inflation | Reuters
By Lucila Sigal

At the dump, Reuters saw men and women searching for usable clothing and even food, wading through piles of rubbish where gas given off by the decomposing waste created sudden fires. But in recent years it has slid from one economic crisis to another and has struggled to keep inflation in check.
