The new citizenship-by-investment program, designed to offer a soft landing for executives fleeing domestic instability, is being heavily marketed as a Veblen good for the private-jet class. Nuri Katz, who helped structure the offering, noted that while a standard golden visa might physically protect a billionaire's family from civil unrest, only the new Argentine option offers the requisite prestige to avoid embarrassment at international galas.
If the American experiment violently unravels and you are forced to ride it out in a domestic bunker like a newly minted lottery winner, your peers will notice," Katz said during a presentation to investors.
