I was looking for a proper time to promote this article, which is a chapter from the book "The Satoshi Papers: Reflections on Political Economy After Bitcoin". It is my paper from that book: "Argentina against Central Banking? The Election of Javier Milei"
It was written in 2023, during the presidential campaign in Argentina. Then candidate Milei was promising a full dollarization of the economy, free currency competition, and the central bank's closure. In my paper I argued not only that Milei is not a bitcoiner, as the international press thought at the time, but that it would be unlikely that he would be able to deliver on his campaign promises. You can read the full article here.
Fast forward to 2025 Q4, we have mid-term elections and the economic instability is palpable, the central bank is not only still open, but it strongly intervening the ARS/USD exchange rate to avoid price increases. It just blocked me from buying US dollars at the (fictitious) official rate because I was doing so to make 5% arbitrage at market price.
That is why I think there won't be a better time to make this article public.
