What happened
Javier Milei, President of Argentina, has linked his country's libertarian policies to insights regarding South Africa's economic trajectory. His policies included spending cuts, removing business restrictions, devaluing the peso, and halting central bank money printing. These steps resulted in Argentina achieving its first fiscal surplus in over a decade and reducing monthly inflation, though they also led to recession and increased poverty in the early period.
