I'm 20 minutes into a long-form interview with Javier Millei, the
President of Argentina, and it seems to me that you would find this very
interesting. He's an economist and I know that's a strong interest of
yours. So far, he has talked about the various economists he's studied
to come to his current views, particularly the Austrian School - Hayek,
Von Mises, etc. - and some of their Hispanic followers. Milton Friedman
was also important to him. I'm just at the point where he is starting to
describe the state of the Argentinian economy when he took office and
the steps he took to get it back on track. According to the
introduction of the interviewer, Lex Fridman, he will also discuss what
else needs to be done to make Argentina the most free country in the world.

 He read von Mises and the other Austrian school economists by himself.
Fascinating. Just a little bit of political economy.
 Thanks

He even has a special interest in Judaism which he mentions later in the video but which I hadn't seen when I wrote the post.
Toward the end, he also reveals more of his personal side with his boundless admiration of certain soccer players and his favourite band. An interesting guy!
