Nils Hesse: Milei’s Argentina - Between Liberation and the Institutional Trap

What is President Javier Milei, really: a savior, or a bankruptcy trustee? An anarchist, a populist, or a classical-liberal reformer? Is he dismantling the casta — the entrenched political establishment — or is the casta undermining his reform agenda? In the end, will freedom prevail, or will the corrupt system reassert itself and absorb the would-be reformer?

Dr Will Jones: Milei Wins Landslide in Argentina, Confounding Doubters of State-Shrinking Agenda

Andrew Moran: Trump Endorses Javier Milei in Argentine Midterm Elections

If the Peronists return to power, no money for Argentina.

Argentine President Javier Milei went to Washington on Oct. 13 for a second meeting with President Donald Trump in a month. During a bilateral lunch meeting between Trump and Milei, the US administration reaffirmed its $20 billion commitment to the anti-establishment leader who has transformed the Latin American nation through a series of sweeping economic reforms.

Can Milei make Argentina great again? Trump and senior White House officials certainly believe so – and the numbers support the hope of resurrecting the adage of “rich as an Argentine.”

Lushington Brady: Has Milei Saved Argentina from the Left?

To the fury of the media, Argentina’s economy is bounding back.

When Javier Milei came to power in Argentina, the Western media went into pearl-clutching overdrive. Milei, like Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, was a ‘mini-Trump’, a chainsaw-wielding madman who was set to overthrow decades of left-wing, socialist, policy in Argentina. That those same policies had taken Argentina from one of the wealthiest countries in the world to a basket-case economy, was of no matter.

All that mattered was that the globalists’ beloved ‘pink tide’ was under threat. Venezuela, the left’s beloved poster-child, was in free-fall collapse, with Argentina not far behind.

Milei vowed to turn that all around by slashing government spending and lifting the heavy boot of bureaucracy from Argentina’s neck.

And it’s worked. With stunning speed. In less than two years, Milei has reined in inflation, revitalised a moribund housing market and lifted millions of Argentines out of poverty.

DTNZ: Argentina withdraws from WHO

President Javier Milei has accused the global health agency of mismanaging the Covid-19 pandemic.

Argentina has announced its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing fundamental policy disagreements, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. The move mirrors a decision made last month by US President Donald Trump.

Lushington Brady: Argentina Is Turning the Corner at Last

No pain, no gain,’ as the saying goes. Overturning decades of economic decline in Argentina was never going to be easy, but Javier Milei’s revolution is already paying dividends, in little over a year.

When Milei slashed government spending, the mainstream media were quick to pounce. Never mind that Argentina had been on a century-long decline, from one of the most prosperous countries in the world in the early 20th century to chronic hyperinflation in the last few decades. But Milei’s economic policies already have the country turning the corner.

Dr Oliver Hartwich: A most predictable surprise

When Javier Milei was elected president of Argentina in December 2023, the world’s media competed to paint the darkest picture possible.

The Guardian warned of “a victory that would undo 40 years of democracy.” The Nation warned of “Argentina’s Chainsaw Massacre.” Deutsche Welle declared Argentina would become “isolated in terms of foreign policy.”

David Farrar: Milei winning battle against inflation

President Milei of Argentina took office just 10 months ago when monthly (not annual) inflation was at a massive 25.5%. This means that every week your groceries cost 6% more than the week before. Within that one month they cost a quarter more.

Monthly inflation has now dropped to 2.7%. Still too high by our standards, but almost a miracle for Argentina.
