The government of Argentina decorated him with the Orden de May al Mérito; Brazil’s awarded him its highest honor, the Ordem do Cruzeiro do Sul (this one had special meaning because it came straight from Fernando Henrique Cardoso, by then the country’s president); and Colombia’s government gave Hirschman the Orden de San Carlos.
