Argentina hit annual inflation of over 200%, multiple exchange rates and soaring poverty before voters handed Javier Milei a mandate for radical free‑market shock therapy. Rob Marstrand breaks down what his government has actually done so far, from slashing the state and deregulating at chainsaw speed to forcing inflation sharply down and narrowing Argentina’s risk premia, and then compares it to Britain’s cautious drift into higher taxes, heavier regulation and long‑term decline.
