    • 1985, William C. Smith, “Reflections on the Political Economy of Authoritarian Rule and Capitalist Reorganization in Contemporary Argentina”, in Philip O’Brien and Paul Cammack, editors, Generals in Retreat: The Crisis of Military Rule in Latin America, Manchester, Dover, N.H.: Manchester University Press, →ISBN, page 47:
      In a last frantic move, the Peronist government again turned to a stringent stabilization plan (i.e. another 100 per cent peso devaluation, 90 per cent increases in publicly-controlled prices, coupled with a meagre 20 per cent increase in nominal wages). [...] Some idea of this incredibly rapid 'Weimarization' of Argentine politics can be gleaned from an extrapolation of the first quarter's inflation to a 3,000 per cent annual rate. Using the March figure, the same calculation yields a fantastic 17,000 per cent annual rate.
  2. Adhering to or describing modern-day Peronism, including any of the political parties that self-identify as such.
