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

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
