Argentina · 2023–
Javier Milei
Libertarian economist in the Casa Rosada. Sharp spending cuts and a public fight with the political class.
Javier Milei is on the world-leaders chart for Argentina, 2023–. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Libertarian economist in the Casa Rosada. Sharp spending cuts and a public fight with the political class.
The dot is economics +78 and authority -18, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is right of center on economics. The other axis sits toward liberty. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: Abolish the political caste and the central bank. Chainsaw the budget. Done: Spending was cut hard and inflation fell from its peak. Dollarization and closing the bank were not done. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Emmanuel Macron (France, +30 / -14) and Margaret Thatcher (United Kingdom, +72 / +34). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
