Los Think-Tank Argentinos y EEUU que nos llevó a Javier Milei
Esta sección examina los mecanismos, las instituciones, los patrocinadores (y algunos efectos económicos extremos en la argentina) de una red global de think tanks libertarianos en Argentina, analizando su influencia sobre los votantes en la elección del Presidente Javier Milei. […]
Pacto de Mayo “No Hay Plata”
El 12 de febrero en Italia, Javi admitió “sentir un profundo desprecio por el Estado”, al que describió como una “mafia”. Uno sólo puede especular cómo se sienten personalmente sus socios en el crimen Caputo y Macri sobre la terminología italiana de Javi. El liberalismo no puede contemplar una política estatal para lo social, lo cultural (excepto en el sentido negativo del marxismo cultural) o el medio ambiente porque estos conceptos no monetarios no tienen un valor que pueda contarse en dólares.
Reconstruction Pact, Anybody?
On February 12th in Italy Javi said he admitted “feeling a profound contempt for the state” which he described as a “Mafia”. One can only speculate how his partners in crime Caputo and Macri feel personally about Javi’s Italian terminology. Liberalism cannot contemplate state policy for social, cultural (except in the negative sense of cultural Marxism), or environment because these non-monetary concepts don’t have a value which can be counted in dollars.

Social media works for the masses influencing opinion but you need to teach/evangelize the economics students
Javier Milei: Las Primeras 50 Días
Una semana barata en Santiago de Chile podría costar dos millones de pesos sin salir a cenar pero incluido el autobús desde Mendoza y eso será el salario de tres meses para cualquiera que todavía tenga trabajo
Javier Milei the first 50 days
Javi showed his libertarian freedom to starve by not raising the minimum wage even in increasingly devalued pesos. “Why should I fix the price of labour?, he said. Javi is betting that this deep depression will finally conquer inflation over the dead bodies of the poor.
Milei la Topadora y la Huelga Nacional
Paro General: Las políticas ultraliberales de Milei están diseñadas para beneficiar a los buenos en la sociedad que él llama “la gente de bien”, pero el coste lo asumen otros grupos y esto ha sido aplastante para los pobres.
Milei the Bulldozer and a National Strike
The way Milei recognises these “better” conditions means that the costs of adjustment are being borne not by his famous (caste) but by the working classes in Argentina, especially those employees that are considered by Milei to be “collectivists” i.e. they think that they might have a better chance of being paid better with better conditions if they organize as a union
