Argentina and the Madman

In this episode, Rob and Ruairi discuss Argentinian history and their newly elected president, Javier Milei. Milei is a far-right economist who has proposed reducing the functions of the state to a minimum and placing his trust in the market alone to solve Argentina’s problems through the development of trade and exports, As well as a smorgasbord of other outlandish policies that may or may not help Argentina. Will Miliei be able to dollarize the country as he has promised? Is he Argentina's equivalent of Saudi Arabia's MBS? Or is he exactly what the country needs? Will he manage to last a full term? Join us to discuss these questions, and many more. ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok
