Introduction

> I have always believed that true freedom comes from breaking the chains of government corruption and inefficiency. “The fight against corruption is universal,” and that’s exactly what I'm dedicated to in Argentina. My policies may seem radical, but we needed a drastic change to avoid the brink of hyperinflation, and I’m proud to say that for the first time in 16 years, we have achieved a fiscal surplus.

> Economic freedom isn’t just about dollars and cents; it’s also about the moral strength of a nation. We’re standing up for “freedom of speech and political freedom” as essential foundations for societal progress. Though some fear the pain that comes with radical change, I’m convinced that the fight for a prosperous future is worth it.

Economic freedom

> Understanding the value of economic freedom through studying historical trends in per capita GDP over 2,000 years, which led to questioning traditional economic theories in light of improved living standards and poverty reduction.

> Immersing myself in the Austrian School of Economics through reading works by authors like Rothbard, Mises, Hayek, and others, which revolutionized my thinking and paved the way for a deeper exploration of the principles of freedom and political economics.

Anarcho-capitalism

> Strictly speaking, I identify as an anarcho-capitalist because “I despise the state, government, and violence,” and I firmly believe in “the unrestricted respect for the life project of others,” which is the essence of true liberalism. This ideal world is my ultimate vision, but I understand the practical limitations that require me to operate as a minarchist in the real world.

> We’re currently undergoing the largest structural reform in Argentine history, which is “eight times larger than Menem,” and I advocate for minimizing the state's size by eliminating unnecessary regulations. “We are closer every day to being the freest country on the planet,” and that will lead directly to true prosperity, similar to what happened in Ireland.

> Too many anarcho-capitalists waste their energy criticizing those who strive for liberty from within the system and neglect the reality of political dynamics. Power is a zero-sum game; if we don’t claim it, the left will. “Criticism without action leads to subservience to socialism,” and it’s crucial to engage in political efforts, rather than just criticize those making an impact.

Presidency and reforms

> When I took office, Argentina was in a dire economic situation with skyrocketing inflation, a massive fiscal deficit, and significant poverty levels. We had to act swiftly and intelligently to avoid hyperinflation that could have led to a humanitarian crisis.

> By implementing tough yet necessary measures such as reducing the number of government Ministries, cutting civil employees, and eliminating economic subsidies, we achieved fiscal balance in just one month. This was crucial, as Argentina had a long history of deficits, and previous warnings of impossibility were proven wrong.

> Through our policies, we managed to significantly reduce inflation rates from alarming levels to a more stable range, restored the debt market's confidence, and improved the overall economic environment in Argentina. We did all this without resorting to price controls or fixed exchange rates, which are common in stabilization programs.

> Our focus on economic freedom and structural reforms has significantly enhanced Argentina's economic prospects. We have risen in global economic freedom rankings, and our goal is to make Argentina the freest country in the world, surpassing even countries like Australia and Switzerland in economic liberty.

> Despite initial skepticism and challenges, the results speak for themselves. We have seen a decrease in poverty rates, a growth in GDP, and an increase in real wages. The Argentinian economy is on a solid path of recovery and growth, surpassing even optimistic projections. The momentum is with us, and we are determined to continue our reforms to make Argentina the best it can be.

Poverty

> "We did not create poverty; we revealed it." The reality in Argentina was that poverty was inherited and distorted by previous policies—what we’ve done is uncover the true extent of the crisis, showing that the levels of poverty were actually much worse than reported.

> "Making prices transparent is essential." By allowing prices to reflect the real economic situation instead of relying on artificially controlled figures, we confronted the reality that people couldn't buy essential goods, leading to a drastic increase in poverty rates. This transparency is crucial for economic recovery.

> "The Argentinian economy is currently in an absolutely flourishing moment." With the elimination of inflation and structural reforms in place, we’re seeing real wage growth and a revitalization of the economy, resulting in decreased poverty and a resurgence in investment and consumption. The path is now about sustaining this by continuously deregulating and freeing Argentinians from the oppressive measures of the past century.

Corruption

> Firstly, I highlighted how we fought against corruption in Argentina by tackling issues like roadblocks, corruption in public works, and discretionary transfers to provinces, leading to real change and significant actions.

> Next, I discussed our strong stance against corruption in all aspects, highlighting recent condemnations of corrupt figures like Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and the removal of their privileged pensions, showcasing our unwavering commitment to cleaning up Argentina.

> Lastly, I delved into the battle against corrupt media, emphasizing our removal of official advertising from certain outlets to combat journalistic extortion, lies, and defamation, showing our dedication to promoting true freedom of speech and challenging the status quo in media.

Freedom

> Freedom isn't just a concept; it's the essence of life itself. "What good is it to be alive if you're confined? What good is it to be alive if you're not free?" This relentless pursuit of liberty drives my every action and belief.

> The fall of socialism exemplified how oppressive systems inevitably fail, as they cannot thrive without subjugating people. "What was the ministry of women in Argentina doing? Did it manage to reduce a single femicide? No, none at all," illustrating how false solutions only breed more misery.

> The cultural battle is as vital as the economic one. "If you don't fight the cultural battle, then socialism little by little takes control of institutions in education and the media," making it essential to convey the values of capitalism and freedom to society.

> I strive to challenge powerful forces, undeterred by fear for my life. "What good is it to live life in slavery?" I believe in fighting for my values relentlessly, just like Moses faced enormous odds to free his people, as my mission holds the same fundamental importance.

Elon Musk

> I admire Elon Musk for his fight for freedom, particularly against the Socialist and woke viruses. He surprised me with his deep discussions on demography and cultural battles, going beyond the typical business conversation I expected. His unconventional intelligence and charm make him well above average and a true hero in the history of humanity.

> Elon Musk's interest in freedom and deregulation aligns with our goals, and his collaboration with others to replicate our model in Argentina gives me great hope for more freedom for the people. Trump's victory and the progress towards reducing regulations not only benefit the United States but also have a ripple effect, making the world a better place overall.

DOGE

> "My experience has shown that effective governance requires decisiveness. In Argentina, we’ve managed to cut through red tape through delegated powers, allowing us to remove unnecessary regulations and streamline processes to boost economic performance. My advice? 'Push it to the very limit and do not give up.'"

> "It's essential to understand that removing privileges will inevitably lead to resistance from those who benefit from the status quo. But ultimately, it's about explaining to society why these changes are necessary for progress—the true path to economic freedom."

Donald Trump

> One thing I deeply admire about President Trump is "his courage." Despite facing severe criticism, he remained resilient and kept fighting. His ability to stand strong in the face of adversity is truly inspiring.

> Another aspect of President Trump that I find commendable is his understanding of the cultural battle, particularly in openly confronting socialism. He grasped the essence of the woke virus and the importance of fighting against it. His approach to these challenges demonstrates a deep understanding of the core issues at play.

US and Argentina relations

> “We've chosen to be geopolitical allies of the United States and Israel because they embody the principles of the free world and liberal democracy.” It’s essential for Argentina to align with those who stand against autocracy, and I’m committed to strengthening this relationship.

> “I campaigned on cutting public spending with a chainsaw, promoting economic freedom, and fighting crime relentlessly.” My administration has not only focused on these core principles but we are seeing a shift where inflation and insecurity are no longer the primary concerns of Argentinians – we’ve made vital progress in prioritizing security and economic stability.

> “Currency competition is key; not strictly dollarization but giving people the choice.” The path to monetary reform involves cleaning up the central bank’s debts and ensuring that people can transact freely in various currencies, paving the way for a healthier economic environment where the peso may eventually dwindle as the dollar rises.

Messi vs Maradona

> Diego Maradona was an incredible player, but Messi surpasses everyone, even Maradona. Messi's abilities in every position on the field set him apart from the rest. His talents go beyond just scoring goals; they involve moments of pure genius, making him the greatest player of all time.

> Watching Messi play is like witnessing something divine, where words fail to capture the awe he inspires. Some individuals, like Messi, vibrate so close to God that their actions are beyond description. It's a privilege to witness and appreciate these unique moments that connect us closer to the divine.

> Being a goalkeeper, like myself in my youth, is a solitary and high-pressure position. Mistakes as a goalkeeper can be catastrophic, similar to making critical decisions as a president. Both roles require strong temperament and the ability to handle immense responsibility impacting many lives.

God

> Life is not worth living without freedom, and I've faced daily insults and attacks while remaining steadfast. Like Sylvester Stallone said, the secret to life is to carry on despite the punches—I've embraced that philosophy as I fight for a better Argentina.

> Faith has been a fundamental pillar in my life, especially through my engagement with Judaism and studying the Torah. These teachings equip me to face challenges head-on, reminding me that both the market's invisible hand and God's hand work together harmoniously for humanity's benefit.

Elvis and Rolling Stones

> Elvis Presley and Rolling Stones are my rock idols. Dreaming of playing with them is a big goal of mine. I see a bit of showmanship in my approach to politics and life, making events feel like a Rolling Stones concert. The nickname "El Loco" doesn't bother me; maybe it's the establishment that's crazy. Being called a madman isn't an insult; it's a trait shared by many historical figures who challenged the norm. So, what's the real difference between a madman and a genius?

Free market

> The market operates as a "process of voluntary exchange," where cooperation thrives through the respect for private property, making it the ultimate allocator of resources. Without private property, there are no prices, and thus no economic calculations, illustrating why socialism fails fundamentally.

> Success in a free market means serving the needs of others effectively; as I often remind myself, the capitalist is a "hero" and "prosperity machine" who improves society just by striving for better goods at better prices. This interplay of competition and social benefit underscores the beauty of capitalism.

> Lastly, the concept of "market failures" is a fallacy perpetuated by neoclassical economists, where real-world problems are distorted into mathematical quandaries. The truth is simple: there's no middle ground between capitalism and socialism. Interventions only lead to "government failure," creating a dangerous cycle that pulls us further away from the freedom and prosperity that capitalism offers.

Loyalty

> I have learned unconditional love from my four-legged children. They embody loyalty and decency, virtues I strive to uphold in my own life.

> Betrayal in politics can be heartbreaking, but it's a reality one must face. Some individuals may not share the same values, but one must continue to fight for what they believe in, despite encountering traitors along the way.

Advice for young people

> Living a life of purpose and passion is about defining what makes you happy and consistently pursuing that. I believe that “I would rather cry because I failed rather than not crying because I never tried,” emphasizing the importance of going all in.

> Never give up and never be half-hearted—these are my guiding principles. Regret comes from inaction, not from failure, and I will always choose to take the leap rather than wonder what could have been.

Hope for Argentina

> "Viva la libertad! Long Live Freedom, damn it! It started at my book presentations and has become a part of me. It reflects my faith in God and gratitude for the blessings. It's a war cry, a reminder of the forces beyond us."

> "Thank you for being a warrior for freedom. In times of deceit, telling the truth is revolutionary. Let's keep fighting for a better world, where freedom, peace, and prosperity prevail."
