In this no-holds-barred debate episode, we confront the explosive question:
Is Javier Milei’s much-hyped “economic miracle” in Argentina turning into The Milei Mirage?
By early 2025, Milei’s radical shock therapy looked like a triumph—7.8% GDP growth and inflation plunging to 1.5%. Fast-forward to today and the picture has dramatically reversed: monthly inflation has surged back to 2.9% (annualized >40%), GDP is contracting, the head of the national statistics office has resigned in protest over alleged government interference in inflation methodology, and net foreign investment has turned negative for the first time since 2003.
Our expert panel clashes head-on over the data: the stalled “V-shaped” recovery, the commodity lottery driving mining exports, the corporate exodus despite pro-market reforms, and whether Milei’s libertarian experiment is delivering lasting stability or simply another chapter in Argentina’s century of economic disappointment.
Raw, data-driven, and unfiltered—this is the debate you won’t hear anywhere else.
