In order to have a mature discussion about this topic, it's necessary for people to know about the economic and political history of Argentina. It's impossible to understand their current situation without going back to the 1940s. Bad faith arguments look over the fact that Argentina has had decades of incredible economic distortions as a consequence of political rot, and that undoing those distortions is not achieved in the time Milei has been president (I personally don't believe they could be undone in less than a presidential term).

Wouldn't that be something like Somalia? There's very evidently a state in Argentina, even though it's massively mismanaged.

this is kind of the opposite extreme: the argentine state has created these problems through pervasive over-regulation of the economy, down to the level of deciding which brands get how much shelf space on the supermarket shelves, and granting licenses to purchase foreign exchange on a case-by-case basis at different rates depending on what the purpose of the foreign exchange is

the experience of a state that is far too effective at fucking up the economy is why the argentines elected a total nutbag as president on the strength of his campaign promises to vastly reduce the effectiveness of the state

Milei is a mega libertarian, but this mess pre-dates him by a long way.

Then who's printing all that money?

Actually the Government has been Peronist (which many consider to be equivalent to socialist) in Argentina from WW2 to 1970, and then from 1989 onwards.

A large government spending lots of money. Add in wage and price controls (classic authoritarian leftwing policies), and economic ruin was an inevitability

Inflation has nothing to do with libertarianism and everything to do with a state that tried to run everything and inevitably failed.
