What Changes Will Javier Milei Bring to Argentina?

On Sunday, December 10th, Argentina inaugurated a new president, the eccentric "anarcho-capitalist" Javier Milei. To learn about this new chapter in South American history, Justin and John sit down with Ariel González Levaggi, an academic at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina and senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Ariel describes Argentina's journey from a global economic powerhouse to a stagnant, indebted nation, explaining why voters have turned to the colorful Milei for radical solutions. He also offers some commentary on Venezuela's threats to invade Guyana in the north of the continent. Read more from Ariel here:
