What happens when a country that has been in crisis for 100 years finally embraces radical free-market reform?
In this exclusive interview from Buenos Aires, Adam Creighton sits down with Argentina’s Economy Minister Luis Caputo – the man implementing Javier Milei’s small-government revolution. Caputo explains how Argentina slashed its fiscal deficit in a month, returned to surplus, pulled millions out of poverty, and drove inflation towards single digits – all while defying Keynesian predictions of recession.
They discuss:
- Why Milei’s government is different from past reform attempts
- How a 30% budget cut didn’t cause the predicted depression
- The plan to bring Argentine inflation down to international levels
- The new foreign investment regime and massive mining opportunities
- Labour and tax reform, flat taxes, and Argentina’s path to becoming a “serious country”.
If you are interested in free markets, inflation, or global economic reform, this conversation is unmissable.
