Ep 243 | Will Argentina Have a Libertarian President? | Guest: Federico Fernandez
Podcast:Kibbe on Liberty Published On: Wed Sep 06 2023 Description: As Argentina prepares for its general presidential election, everyone is surprised at the emergence of Javier Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist who managed to win his party’s primary. Milei is campaigning against his country’s rampant inflation caused by the central bank’s monetary policy and proposes laissez-faire economic policies inspired by the Austrian school of economics. As a populist rabble-rouser, Milei has been compared to Donald Trump, but with an apparent commitment to reducing the size and scope of government. Matt Kibbe is joined by Federico Fernandez, president of Fundación Internacional Bases, to discuss whether Milei has a chance of winning and whether his rhetoric should be taken seriously.
