Yes, you definitely don't hear much. As a matter of fact, I know almost nothing about South America - other than what I consider superficial facts.

You've piqued my curiosity though. I was involved in some business conversations about foreign investments in South American companies many years ago - primarily establishing companies to manufacture products and export to the U.S.

The plan was scrapped due to the corruption, bribery, high inflation rate risk, and political instability (read: nationalization of private assets).

Right On.

This subject matter is very interesting though. It also makes me think about other areas of the world that we hear so little about.
