Glad the Prof is taking an interest in Milei

Professor Hicks, what a luxury having such a prestigious and honnored philosopher. As usual is a pleasure to listen his insightful opinions. Professor Hicks known what he is talking about: he made a truthfully portrait of current Argentine landscape, thank you for your thoughtful analysis.

Than you. Sober, moderately detailed assessment of Milei's first six months. Good stuff. 👍

[irenecuries]

Very deep interesting analysis, thank you

I wish Objectivists would not be afraid of using the word “Objectivism” and “Objectivist” and explaining what it is and how it’s different and better than libertarianism. Objectivism discovered that it’s not only economically and pragmatically superior to socialism, even the socialists understand that. What we bring to the table is our discovery that the free market and minimal government is ethically superior. Let us not be afraid to say this. And in case anyone has forgotten our winning card: it is voluntary interactions versus force.

How many candidates were actually being *heard* during the presidential election in which Milei was successful? As compared to this country where we have Democrats and Republicans and that is all most people know or care about? For example, does Argentina actually have presidential debates in which more than two candidates are being heard from?

Aaron Clarey points out that Argentina is still a livable country despite its economic problems because you can buy & keep a lot of nice things with borrowed money when you don't pay it back. The Argentine deadbeats might be acting more economically rational than we are giving them credit for.

Why do western hyper-liberals, even on the right, have a hard time with capital punishment? Please describe your value system that allows for reduction of crime. We fail to consistently project what is right and wrong.
Mr. Hicks is great at understanding everything else, to criticize El Salvador’s great turn around, after 2 generations of corruption and home grown terrorizing, is impotence.

Milei has not converted - he is still a Catholic, but opposed to Bergoglio. You forgot to mention his biggest longterm opposition: the international finance architecture. He did not join BRICS because they put a pistol to his head on that.

A more professional background may help.

[albionicamerican]

Why are Rand obsessives talking about Argentina? The American economy is collapsing into a state of debundance - tens of millions of American seniors can't afford to retire, for example. So why aren't you telling us some practical things to fix our economy first?

He said nothing in the first ten minutes. I’m off.

[Juliana]

Wow, sounds like Mr. Hicks offers a LOT of words but no real information
