At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Argentina's President Javier Milei's full-throated defense of the market and criticism of feminism broke through to a wide audience, resonating beyond MAGA circles. Despite the interest he sparked, many were left wanting for more concrete plans to rescue Argentina from its chronic malaise. Milei, a libertarian, has announced an ambitious de-regulatory agenda for the country, with the hope of reversing its economic struggles and sparking an economic revival in Buenos Aires.
Tyler Cowen asks: Will Milei succeed in Argentina? Like many of you, I am watching developments there to see if he can turn the country's fortunes around https://t.co/2TX4N0VvnK
Just watched Javier Milei's latest speech. Going to be fascinating if he can turn Argentina around with his libertarian policies. Would be amazing to see Buenos Aires experiencing an economic revival and become a thriving city on the rise. https://t.co/oYcM7zn11p

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
