From the article:<p><pre><code> "January was the first full month in office for Milei, a far-right libertarian who took office in December, and it ended with a positive balance for public-sector finances of $589 million at the official exchange rate, the government said late Friday."

He isn't a far-right anything and this phrasing taints the article and subsequent discussion. I urge commentators to please not project your domestic politics into one of the weirdest countries in the world. Especially if you have never been there.<p>After spending some months exploring that place and interacting with all manner of folks "There are 4 kind of economies: developed, undeveloped, Japan and Argentina" is one of the truest things I've ever heard in my life. It just doesn't map to anything you're familiar with.<p>The system there is extremely broken and corrupt and has been since before you were born. It is going through a chaotic reset. They might dollarize. I think they should and definitely wish them the best.<p>Completely orthogonal to social policies I know many on this website might have a problem with.
