  • President Javier Milei cautioned of tough times ahead before improvement. His initial few months in office witnessed a slight dip in inflation, but poverty is in an upward spiral. Now, facing another general strike, will Argentinians wait to see if his radical reforms yield results?

    The government was spending more than it can afford. So it doesn't matter if Argentina can withstand the cuts, but its already apparent that Argentina has not withstood overspending.

    I see the Profesor likes to extrapolate past Europe situations to current/future Argentina situations. He should do it the other way around. What Europe has been doing for the last 15 years, in Argentina started 80 years ago. So the direction should be Current Argentina -> Future Europe if they keep attached to their social justice agenda. Believe me, I grew up and lived my entire life under different governments of the "Social Justicialist Party".

      The problem of Argentina isn't socialism or "social justicialists" it's corruption. Scandinavian countries have been governed mainly by social-democrats since the 50's and they aren't exactly hell on earth : long life expectancy, low poverty, very low corruption, high security, a healthy private sector, high level of education, very good public services, low income inequalities etc.

      @@xenomyr Argentina and Scandinavia are not the same system at all. For each dollar a private company earns in Argentina, it will pay 1.06 dollars in taxes. Corporate tax rates in Scandinavia are way lower. By the way, the Scandinavian model collapsed in the 90s, and economic-freedom reforms occurred, a big part of the welfare-state was dismantled. All scandinavian countries rank high among the most economically free countries in the world. Argentina ranks 143th.

    My countryman may be a professor but seems a bit clueless on what Argentina needs with his views based on what has happened in the UK with similar policies. If he knew anything about what Milei has stated is needed he will know that is exactly what Argentina needs. Kirchnerist policies based on wasting and syphoning off government funds is what ruined the economy. The damage was already done.

    Argentinians lived in poverty even before reforms. If you have to borrow money to afford something, it doesn't mean you are rich... it proves you are not! Same goes for subsidies, if you rely on subsidies, you are poor. Argentinians lived like they are rich while being poor. It is time to stop pretending you are not poor and really become rich!

    Ronald Reagan did something very similar in the 1980s. 81, 82, and half of 83 were very difficult and the the economy took off!
    I hope Argentina stays this course and rejects Peronism and populism in 21 & 23.

    After being (intensively) involved with Argentina for about 40 years I think it is too early to evaluate the effects of Milei policy. Better talk in... lets say November. I'm afraid we will have to agree by then that Martina's (non-ideological) contribution to this conversation was the most important one.

      Yes. It means you stopped increasing your debt, at least for now. In turn that means you don't need to monetize any new debt and generate inflation. It has nothing to do with the current value of your currency.
      It has double nothing to do with changing the official conversion rate, that was at that point fictional, and bringing it closer to the "black" (read "free") market. In other words, currency was already devalued. He just stopped lying that it wasn't.
