Dictators & Demagogues 06: Javier Milei – Argentina’s ‘mad man’
Make Argentina Great Again. That's the catchcry Javier Milei has borrowed from his friend, Donald Trump.

Guests:
Dr Constanza Sanhueza - Lecturer in Political Science, Australian National University
Vera Bergengruen - TIME Washington DC reporter
Eduardo Amadeo - Diplomat, economist, and economic advisor to Javier Milei’s Security Minister
Producers: Zoe Ferguson and Linda Lopresti
