Xavier Mili's different experience in economic liberalization; From theory to power, can Milli's success be repeated in Argentina?
Kathryn Mangward, editor of Risen magazine wrote:
Millie won when she appeared in the media and quoted Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard and other prominent figures in favor of the free market. He promised sweeping spending cuts, mass layoffs of civil servants and other radical changes.
After his first election victory, Milley went to work quickly, perhaps with Friedman's warning in mind. In the first year of his presidency, the expenses of the central government decreased by a quarter, including inflation, and the government managed to reach a budget surplus within a few weeks.
Milli's government, wherever it could, continued to restructure state-owned companies and push them into private ownership.
Milli's presidency shows that when all the conditions come together and a window opens, a principled and determined politician can achieve results far beyond expectations.
