The Argentinian people appear willing to give Javier Milei and freer markets a chance to work their magic. From Joel Bowman at joelbowman.substack.com:
Joel Bowman, with today’s Note From the End of the World: Sanur, Indonesia…
A dear friend sends an important update from Argentina…
“It’s a dark, bleak, libertarian, dystopian hellhole.”
Happily for us (as well as for all our amigos back home in Buenos Aires…) our mate has a healthy sense of humor. Inflation on the Pampas is coming down. Things are looking up. And El Presidente, Javier Milei, is chasing broken collectivist dreams with woke tear shooters. Bottoms up!
Foreign investment is getting excited about Argentina, too. This week, Sr. Milei visited California, where in addition to giving an economics lecture at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, he met with Silicon Valley’s head honchos to inform them of “the enormous possibilities offered by a libertarian Argentina.”

The CEO’s of tech behemoths Google… Meta… OpenAI… Apple… overseeing trillion-, even multi-trillion dollar companies…meeting with a chainsaw-wielding anarcho-capitalist from the End of the World.
Interesting times we live in, no?
He was educated as an economist.
A Von Mises guy? Search won’t say and that probably is trying to go into mind read mode.
Anytime you drop crony capitalism or the redistribution payments that have been going since the Great Society under comrade LBJ (CPUSA), you have good Max Headroom times.
Professional voters and crony capitalists won’t go quietly though.
Uncanny! Mustache Man was looking on from das Teevee and they should just make a Nazi channel and get it over with.
