Welcome Avatar! Last week I had the honor to be a guest on one of my favorite podcasts, Hidden Forces. Listen to the first part of the interview here.
Our discussion goes into Argentina’s political history, its economy, its local real estate market, its energy sector, and President Javier Milei’s efforts to revive growth, combat inflation, and liberalize the country’s economy.
In the first hour, we explore how Argentina—once one of the world’s wealthiest nations—fell into economic decline. We compare its trajectory with that of the U.S. during the pivotal 1930s and 1940s and discuss why Milei’s election marks a historic break from the country’s cycle of Marxist and fascist regimes.
In the second hour, the discussion shifts to Milei’s master plan, and the sweeping policy changes he’s implementing through emergency powers, including:
Dismantling price controls
Overhauling exchange rate policies
Eliminating export tariffs
Privatizing state-owned enterprises
Introducing competing currencies
Reforming the real estate market
Abolishing the Central Bank
And more pro-market measures
See you in the Jungle, anon!

Thank you; some really useful information. Most of my friends are Peronistas (that's just the tango world) and discussions very seldom get further than 'Milei is a fascist'. Much appreciated.
