But this talk attempts to give some nuance about what Milei is doing

Imo, the drama between the two on a personal level can be completely ignored in favour of putting concrete policy actions under the microscope to understand how he is dealing with Argentina's crisis. That's more useful.

I appreciated Milei’s point on the theoretical vs practical effects of just closing the central bank, but don’t think it was necessary to call Hoppe an idiot. Can’t find this whole interview. nostr:note16yme49w2c5e7d7vwa0fgf59vtnpzqtkldu5knt29rmz7awsgctksztm60p

Bringing about libertarian reforms in an economy ravaged by socialist policies is not easy. It can't be undone suddenly at the whims of an ideologue, billionaire or a scholar, however right that person maybe.

Bastiat's approach of accounting for what is seen and unseen goes as much for liberalisation as it does for restriction or intervention. It's easy for a country to vote its way into socialism, but getting out of it is incredibly hard.
