Warning: this episode contains strong language.
With Argentina again in the midst of an economic crisis, Argentine voters turned to Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian who has drawn comparisons to Donald J. Trump.
Jack Nicas, who covers South America for The New York Times, discusses Argentina’s incoming president, and his radical plan to remake the country’s economy.
Guest: Jack Nicas, the Brazil bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:
