This article considers the spatiality of distinct investment practices engaged in by
small-scale, middle class investors in Buenos Aires after the Argentine economic crisis of 2001. The article focuses on real estate investment, situating it alongside two other forms of savings: argentine currency and dollars. According to the argument presented here, the difference between these forms of investment cannot be understood by contrasting the local to the global, the concrete to the abstract. Rather, the author proposes an analysis that understands each form of investment through a series of relations that transcend Cartesian space.
