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.

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.

He had converted a number of years ago.

If he mentioned that in the video, I missed it. But it sounds like you
already know this from some other source.

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!

Show me any political change that can't be reversed.

 All the statues and memorials they’re tearing torn down because they aren’t
woke. You might be able to put up a new one, but the originals are all gone
forever.
 

Were those statues destroyed or just put aside somewhere? I remember FPP conceding that they should be put in museums amid signage that explained their context but I don't know if that was ever done.
