Sobre este episodio
"The peso scam is around a thousand times larger than the Libra scam, and its victims are the poorest, about 95% of Argentines." ~ Saifedean Ammous Javier Milei swore he'd burn down Argentina's central bank and dollarize the economy. Two and a half years later, the money supply has quadrupled, the debt has ballooned, and a quarter-trillion-dollar carry trade is hollowing out the nation. Is the self-proclaimed Rothbardian actually running one of the most inflationary presidencies in Argentine history? And what does it mean for Austrian economics when its loudest political champion looks more like just another Latin American demagogue?
