At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Argentine President Javier Milei's speech, which included a full-throated defense of the market and attacks on feminism, broke through to a broad audience and compelled a response from economist Mariana Mazzucato. Despite the international spotlight, critics noted the lack of Milei's concrete plans to address Argentina's chronic malaise. Back home, a huge march against Milei's austerity measures and his ambitious de-regulatory agenda took place in Buenos Aires, signaling the beginning of a fightback against his radical reforms. The speech has also been discussed on the All-in podcast, one of the biggest podcasts.

Milei’s Davos speech really did “break through” even beyond the summit. Many rolled their eyes at attacks on feminism etc but the full-throated defense of the market was something you don’t hear much these days & resonated beyond MAGA circles. Even Mazzucato compelled to respond https://t.co/2L9CNvDZpl
What masters of the universe in Davos most wanted and needed to hear were Milei’s concrete plans to take Argentina out of its chronic malaise. They were left wanting, @JPSpinetto writes https://t.co/99dvNRfY5l
