Javier Milei, among the 100 most influential people in the world
As Vera Bergengruen describes, “Javier Mileia radical libertarian economics professor and former television commentator with little government experience, won the presidency of Argentina in a landslide in November, promising to bring the country back from the brink of economic collapse“.
Furthermore, he adds that his victory shocked pollsters and exposed the desperation of 46 million Argentines paralyzed by a triple-digit inflation and a 40% poverty rate.
According to the journalist: “Milei, 53, has not wasted any time. Warning Argentines to prepare for pain, he embarked on a ‘shock therapy’ campaign with hundreds of austerity measures: cutting 70,000 state jobs, cutting federal aid, halving the number of ministries and devaluation of the peso. Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets.”
Finally, Vera assured that it is too early to know if the president’s measures will be successful, but that it is clear that he has gotten one thing right: “With Milei in power, Argentina will have no turning back”.
