Comments by "Dr. Ricco Lindner" (@Dr.RiccoMastermind) on "Javier Milei: President of Argentina - Freedom, Economics, and Corruption | Lex Fridman Podcast #453" video.

Milei starts off for many, many minutes by just repeating ideologic narratives f others about a black-and-withe world between hard-core liberals and bad mad socialists. This is very sad since there is not obvious understanding of reality and the necessity of social aspects. Still, Argentina needed a lot of initial dramatic changes since government got dysfunctional. I'm just afraid of what happens after his initial actions, since neoclassical and Austrian School approaches will do no further good to Argentina 🙈

It's a shame that Milei only focused on Austrian school, since they are so wrong in many aspects. 😡 Thus, Milei never got to understand what a state and public services can do good for people and a country, and that you can't have a flourishing economy and something like a modern society without a good government, and all kind of public services that profit-orientented companies will not care about in an acceptable and sufficient manner

Damn, Milei has a very screwed picture of ther worlds people in mind! He shouldn't have read so much dark Austrian School literature. He is only thinking in black and white.Lex, why don't you argue with him?? This is now interview, it's only a Plattform for Milei and his very strange and aggressive attitudes Ofc, each form of extremism is wrong!! Also true for neoliberal extremism. Stopp thinking black and white!

@albertocalderasd2265 that's why there are pot-Kensians and modern progressive heterodox economists ehi at least offer ideas that even work in theory. And nobe of those economists is just clinging to a few old books of Hayek and von Mise of the same very narrow school of thinking and none of them is so radical with people who believe freedom is a bit different og what Milei thinks.

Wow, thus is going to be a very ambitious series of interview guests 😎👍🏻

The problem is that Milei thinks that maximal economic freedom is the best you can have. Sure, the latest government was heavily dysfunctional and strangling economy. But I would warn to not cut all basic gobernemt functions and important public services. Private economy will not take care if everything, at least not for affordable prices. Not every process will yield profits! In the long run, Milei my fail dramatically by trying to make Argentina the most free country in the world (does in include freedom of foreign investments??)

Removing middleman of poverty was a very good move. Corruption in general kills all good intentions, no matter If with more social or more liberal goals

Very dense and complex information about what his team did. Hard to get all the reasons behind but it sound thoughtfully performed. Hope he succeeds further but I'm a afraid he won't with neoclassical approaches

Common, stopp bashing socialists of the whole world as being the devil himself! We need a modern, progressive definition of a democratic Socialist. Most left-oriented, social loving people surely don't want Stalin or Mao communism!! Speaking like this, Milei ignores the reality of needed social networks. With pure capitalism and neoliberal politics we would have no civilization left. All important social improvements had to be fought for against old capitalist or later neoliberal proponents.
