Argentina: Dollarization and Fiscal Policy (Original Audio)

In this important session titled "Argentina: Dollarization and Fiscal Policy," Emilio Ocampo (UCEMA, Argentina) and Lawrence White (George Mason University) discuss the implications of dollarization and fiscal policy for Argentina. The discussion is moderated by Gabriela Calderón from the Cato Institute.
This talk is part of the Cato Institute conference, “The Rebirth of Liberty in Argentina and Beyond,” held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on June 11-12, 2024, and cosponsored with Libertad y Progreso. The conference brings together prominent classical liberals from around the world to propose ways to limit power, restore the rule of law, and safeguard individual liberty. At a time when many countries are moving away from liberal democracy or strengthening authoritarianism, speakers will discuss the record and relevance of classical liberalism and the importance of Argentina’s reform efforts to Argentina and the world.
