There is not enough wealth in Argentina to distribute to all the poor people. You need to grow the economy first. But if you print a lot of money and spend it, you get inflation.
So Milei is first getting spending and inflation in order which is cratering the economy. But at least it solves the budget and inflation problem.
The inflation concerns me more than the slight contraction in the economy. If the country is stable and the currency is stable, that will encourage investment and help people in the long term.
Argentina has tried redistributive policies and it has caused huge problems for the economy. The man got elected promising to fix the inflation and he already did it.

…at the cost of human lives. Why does that not concern you?
Let me guess what you said about 10% inflation in the US
Now imagine 200%
Please do guess. But not before answering my question.

He can’t just go back on his election promise
You still didn’t answer my question.
60% poverty is not a “slight contraction in the economy.”
