Argentina’s inflation slowed down for a second consecutive month in February, as right-wing President Javier Milei continues to push austerity and deregulation measures in an effort to revive the country’s struggling economy.
My questions regarding Argentina right now are: will he be actually able to reign in spending and reduce the debt to a point where it isn’t such a burden in public finances? Will the economy bottom out before the end of his term and start sustainable growth? Will the people actually tolerate all of this?
All the answers are no, and it's not because of Milei, just as it wasn't because of Macri or the Kirchners, the problem of Argentina is that it is full of Argentinians
As much as it pains me, I am convinced you're right. It's mostly an education / cultural problem. You can find similar situation in other countries of course but I've never it that extensive.
The result is having some of the worst politicians ever being elected, with no credible alternative.
