Argentina's Turnaround by Adit Jain

  • Summary

  • Javier Milei assumed office, as President of Argentina, where the effects of fiscal irresponsibility, by populist Peronist governments, had reduced what was once a rich nation into the ranks of the third world, amid poverty rates of 50%. With inflation at 211%, practically no growth and reckless restrictions that created price distortions, Argentina has been in a miserable situation.

    It took both courage and radical reforms to change course. Mr Milei, a self-declared libertarian, believes in free markets, soft touch regulation and expresses his hatred for a big state. His main economic argument is simple: the public sector in Argentina is too big as it crowds out private initiative. In short, there are too many Argentines living from government handouts and public sector jobs, the economy has been overly regulated and that regulation in turn strangles private enterprise. This podcast explains.
