    the problem in Arg is not only economics, it is culural and Milei is out there to change it.

      Milei's economic plan is much worse than previous president's, he might end up hanged by his own voters

      A parallel is what Eric Weinstein on Triggerometry recently said about free speech: it's cultural, not only laws.

    Milei will not get distracted , he's an economist and someone who's obsessed with economic development and Mathematics in fact that is his academic expertise, so rest assure He's The Man for the job.

    1:59 "…reiterating his view that the state was […] a criminal organisation, despite he's been running it for a year." WELL, Economist, do you think he can fix _everything_ in just a year? FU

    You put Javier Milei on the cover of the mag and went to Buenos Aires to interview the man. Where is the actual interview?
    I would prefer to hear the interview rather than hear you talk about it.

    He is performing miracles if you believe his new statistics: less poverty, higher wages, less taxes, more growth. All at the same time. But what use is that to those who now receive food as a gift from welfare because they have no money? As far as the poverty rate is concerned, he has also established his own standards here and asserts that the old ones were wrong and that without him the poverty rate would have increased dramatically. The Catholic Church in Argentina sees it differently. And theyxare right. Poverty has risen. But anyone who claims other than Milei or criticizes it, or even proves it, is lying. The poor are now economically free, a real achievement. They are probably now looking for their fortune in the USA.

Poverty is fallen below the best mark of Alberto Fernández' government ever achieved, considered on local free market US dollar, and having eliminated all those fascist/peronist prices controls. And in 2025 poverty will fall to the mark of Cristina Kirchner government when she falsified official statistics indexes.

      You don't understand a thing about economics.
      Milei is not performing "miracles". He and his team applies a consistent ortodox economic direction that took out Ireland and Poland from poverty in the near past.

    This video is hilarious if you know the official numbers: since Milei took office, consumption and production have decreased, recession started, the GDP went 3.4% lower, unemployment has increased by 25% and poverty has increased to 52.9%

    • @messiahshepherd9266
      @messiahshepherd9266 2 месяца назад +2

      Consumption and production have decreased as inflation has gone down, and that has allowed people to keep savings- so in the short term people may experience an increase in poverty as producers are now able to lower their time preference and invest in less risky ventures that they know will yield returns in the long run, and less risky long term investments less to more stable employment- and this will expound as their savings increase and producers/Entrepreneurs are willing to lend out their savings to people and other Entrepreneurs to start their long term less risk ventures.
      GDP is measured by adding up government spending too. With how much he's decreased government spending ofcourse GDP and unemployment and poverty has decreased- but I can't think of how you could keep the people wealthy long term without doing what he did without severe social collapse. You need to be able to save before you can spend.
