      i kinda brought it up to a finance type guy yesterday and he said that after decades of terrible economic policy, argentina is finally on the right track, even if it’s gonna hurt in the short term.

      these fuckers will bend reality until it breaks before admitting that maybe people need food to eat.

        “short term”

        The exchange rate devaluation wouldn’t have been as much of a issue if he had done it slowly and enacted price controls but noo shock therapy it is.

        What does he thinks of Russia and Eastern Europe doing the same policy and failing?

        They have been saying the exact same thing about the former Soviet Union for over thirty years now. Just some short term pain to correct for all the economic mismanagement of socialism. Any day now…

        GDP per capita - itself a terrible measure, especially comparing socialism and capitalism - only in recent years got back up to 1991 levels in Russia. Ukraine (even before the SMO) never got back up to the Soviet level. The entire Eastern Bloc would have been better off today in GDP per capita terms if they just had barely above zero economic growth this whole time.

        A whole effort post I made on the topic

      He has been unable to pass most of his reforms, so there’s that. A better example is Menem, he caused massive damage in the 90s.

      Socialism is not a bad word in Argentina, at all, so I’m hoping he will resign once he realizes he’s getting nothing done.

      No. He and his team are incompetent. He tried to rule by decree, when that failed he tried to push a huge law and when that got pushback they tried to take it back to committee without understanding it meant they were back to square one.

      Even so, blaming him entirely for inflation is silly. He’s only the president, and has only had a couple of months.

            I’d have to read on the argentinean junta, but if the experience there is anything like Brazil’s there’s only a misconception that it was ‘neoliberal’. For starters, the regimes predated the washington consensus. And as it turns out, authoritarian officers aren’t liberal people in any way. What the brazilian junta did was un-do or freeze social progress. If before you can see the state capitalist machine wanting to develop internal consumption, the juntas fully endorsed outright fascism and social hierarchy. ‘What is good for the rich is good for the poor’, rather than negotiated settlements or any sort of policy oriented towards the consumer base or unionization. Nonetheless, what was good for the rich was to keep the developmentist money spigot going, only for the rich. Privatization is a post-volcker shock, post hyperinflation political project.

            It’s kinda like how Bolsonaro not that long ago actually liked Hugo Cháves. The brain of latin american officers is a mush of wanting to impose strongman rule and only some of them come across having an actual ideology - leftist or otherwise.

            I could be wrong though. Maybe the Argentinean junta was less statist than ours. But even so, Menem, Macri and now Milei does make for a nice aliteration does it not?
