Javier Milei

Javier Gerardo Milei (born 22 October 1970) is an Argentine politician and economist who has been serving as President of Argentina since December 2023. Milei also served as a national deputy representing the City of Buenos Aires for the party La Libertad Avanza from 2021 until his resignation in 2023. Born in Buenos Aires, he attended the University of Belgrano, where he obtained a degree in economics, and later obtained two master's degrees from both the Institute of Social and Economic Development and the private Torcuato di Tella University, respectively. Milei later became a professor of macroeconomics. He rose to public prominence in the 2010s by appearing as a pundit in various Argentine television programs, in which he was a vocal critic of the Argentine political establishment. In the 2021 legislative election, Milei was elected to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, representing the City of Buenos Aires for La Libertad Avanza. As a national deputy, he limited his legislative activities to voting, focusing instead on critiquing what he saw as Argentina's political elite and its propensity for high government spending. Milei pledged not to raise taxes and donated his national deputy salary through a monthly raffle. He defeated the incumbent economy minister, Sergio Massa, in the second round of the 2023 presidential election, on a platform that held the ideological dominance of Kirchnerism responsible for the ongoing Argentine monetary crisis. Milei is known for his flamboyant personality, distinctive personal style, and strong media presence, including using his catchphrase "¡Viva la libertad, carajo!". He has been described politically as a right-wing populist and right-wing libertarian who supports laissez-faire economics, aligning specifically with minarchist and anarcho-capitalist principles. Milei has proposed a comprehensive overhaul of the country's fiscal and structural policies. On social issues, he opposes abortion and euthanasia and supports civilian ownership of firearms. He also supports freedom of choice on drug policy and sex work. In foreign policy, he advocates closer relations with the United States and Israel.

Economically, they have described his positions as neoliberal and ultraliberal. Milei primarily identifies as a minarchist and liberal-libertarian, or classical liberal, while also aligning theoretically with anarcho-capitalism and paleolibertarianism. [...] Milei describes himself as an anarcho-capitalist, minarchist, paleolibertarian, and liberal-libertarian, which is close to libertarianism in the United States and classical liberalism.

Milei draws his economic philosophy from a wide array of thinkers and economists, spanning from classical figures like Adam Smith [...] He advocates for a more limited government focused solely on justice and security.

  In February 2019, the economist, television personality, and author Javier Milei made a splash at the Buenos Aires Comic-Con by showing up in the black-and-gold costume of his alter ego, the anarchocapitalist superhero “General Ancap.” As “El General,” Milei cursed “Keynesians” and “collectivists” while profanely vowing to kick them out of Argentina.
