Stephan Livera is the host of the Stephan Livera Podcast, and
head of education at Swan Bitcoin. In this interview, we discuss
Argentina’s newly elected Libertarian President, Javier Milei. We
talk about his policies, dollarisation, abolition of the central
bank and whether he can truly tame Argentina's inflation problem.

A few days ago Javier Milei became the world's first
anarcho-capitalist leader after his success in Argentina's recent
elections. The win signals a big shift in the country's political
ideology and economic ambition. His campaign promised to bring
libertarian principles for a nation tired of economic troubles
& ready for change.


Milei ran his campaign on defunding and dismantling government
bureaucracies, abolition of the central bank, and a mass
privatisation of state enterprises and dollarization, in an
attempt to stabilise Argentina's chronic high-inflation. While
these are radical changes, radical may be exactly what Argentina
needs and he struck a chord with voters desperate for a departure
from perpetual economic crises.


As perhaps the most well-known libertarian politician since Ron
Paul, all eyes will be on Milei over the next four years. Can he
bring economic stability to Argentina? Will he be able to
navigate the political structures without becoming corrupted?
Will he really follow through on dismantling the government? And,
will this usher in a new wave of Libertarian politicians across
the world?
