Argentina's Economic Transformation: A Honeymoon Perspective

The author spent 23 days in Argentina during their honeymoon in December 2024, witnessing firsthand the economic transformation under the libertarian President Milei. Milei's policies led to peso devaluation and price increases, but also eliminated the shadow economy and began deregulation. The author interviewed locals in Ushuaia, El Chalten, and Buenos Aires, gathering diverse opinions on the economic changes, ranging from optimism to pessimism. While the transition is painful, the author believes Argentina is on a solid path to recovery.
