In this discussion with Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable, I examine Javier Milei’s rise in Argentina and whether his reform agenda can survive the country’s deeper political, economic, and cultural realities.

Milei’s challenge is not merely technical. Argentina’s crisis is rooted in inflation, state dependency, entrenched interests, institutional decay, and a political culture shaped by decades of economic mismanagement. Real reform requires more than slogans; it requires a society willing to endure pain, restore discipline, and rebuild trust.
