Argentina Bets On Outsider Javier Milei For President

Libertarian economist Javier Milei emerged the overwhelming victor in Sunday’s Argentine presidential elections, defeating his Peronist rival and Economy Minister Sergio Massa by 11% of the vote. Milei campaigned for economic shock therapy to reform Argentina’s beleaguered economy - what does this bode for the country’s policy direction? We discuss the election outcome with political scientist Dr. Tracy Fenwick of the Australian National University.
