Argentine presidential candidate Javier Milei's appeal is more a vote against the establishment than a vote for anything in particular.
Argentine presidential candidate Javier Milei cheers supporters on Aug. 7, 2023, in Buenos Aires at the closing of his campaign for the primary.
Milei is a capitalist extremist who wants the government totally out of the economy. He wants to adopt the dollar as Argentina’s legal tender, close the central bank, and privatize public education and health care. He’s even argued for legalizing the sale ofHis pitch to privatize might make sense since so many of Argentina’s financial problems lie in. The country has heavy subsidies on health care, energy, universities and public transportation.
These populist leaders all secured support by laying blame rather than offering real solutions. In Argentina, since no one is offering real solutions, Milei is even more appealing in comparison. This is particularly true with the younger population, where he finds much of his support. Youth unemployment is nearing 19%, far higher than that of the rest of the population.
