As someone not really too informed about argentinian politics or economy, but knowing stuff only from news reports - isn't milei doing really everything that macroeconomists said needs to be done?
First of which was to reduce the public sector and subsidies?

Reduce Inflation?

And it seems that poverty didnt go to 50% under milei, but actually went 10% up (saw it in a different comment here).
I'm not for milei (or against him), as I said, I don't really know or understand argentinian politics to make an opinion (although what is being done might be a bit brutal), really just asking a question here. This looks like an economic transformation or economic revolution in progress, and there will be (of course) difficulties before it goes better.

- wmf 2y agoIt was obvious and predictable that laying off government workers and ending various subsidy/stimulus/welfare programs would leave many people worse off in the short term. There better be a part two of this plan.
