Elected President of Argentina in late 2023 despite looking like a 1970's Rugby Club throwback. His election was treated with horror by many conventional economic thinkers in North America and Europe, with predictions of disaster for Argentina and its people.
In Eighteen months poverty has declined from 52.9% to 38.1%. Inflation has fallen to a five year low, from 25% a month to 1.5% per month. Economic Growth is currently running at 5.5% annually.
Argentina could be an Economic superpower. The second biggest country on its Continent. Rich in resources, agriculturally significant, and reasonably well developed. Have they finally got a leader capable of taking them to the top table? |  |

I can see them offering favourable tax rates to attract corporations to base themselves there, but I can't see the EU being happy with them spending 30 years scrounging for handouts from richer neighbours. | |

"While Milei has won plaudits for stabilizing the state's finances, his tough austerity drive weighed on economic activity in the first months of 2024. Cuts to state spending continue to hit public workers hard, with salaries falling behind inflation"
UK never gave austerity a chance with Brexit And Covid. |  |

He's turned things around, he was written off by the usual suspects as being a far right idiot, he's actually a libertarian who has also slimmed down the public sector and eased regulation in Argentina.
Argentina has been beset by poor governance, it has the attributes to be a successful economy. |  |
