Neo Tango

Neo Tango is the tango shoe store in Currency Chaos in Argentina (Summer School) that shows how Monetary Volatility reaches retail operations. The shop assembles shoes in Argentina but uses some imported materials, so peso depreciation raises input costs.

The episode uses Neo Tango as its most concrete Menu Costs case. The store accepts multiple currencies, handles purchases that can require large stacks of pesos, and changes prices repeatedly because the cost base is moving too quickly for stable posted prices.
