Thanks to President Javier Milei, Argentina is the world’s most exciting and encouraging nation for public policy. In just two short years, Milei’s libertarian reforms have pulled the country out of an economic tailspin and restored growth.
But there is still a long way to go. Argentina still needs all sorts of pro-markets reforms, such as deregulating labor markets, liberalizing trade, and fixing a terrible tax system.
Fortunately, Milei’s reforms have been so successful that voters last October gave his party a landslide victory in the mid-term elections. His party does not control the Senate or the Chamber of Deputies, but it has enough legislative strength that there’s real hope that much-needed additional reforms will happen.
Given all these exciting developments, I’m announcing that there will be a week-long, English-language program in Buenos Aries for people who want to learn more about what’s happening in Argentina.
The program is sponsored by UCEMA (University of the Center for Macroeconomic Studies of Argentina) and starts March 16 and has a relatively modest price tag.

I encourage people to sign up, but not because I will be one of the lecturers. What’s happening in Argentina is profoundly important. A complete vindication of hard-core free-market policy.
Even more important, I fully hope and expect that “Milei-ism” will spread around the world.
By the way, this is a labor of love for me. I’m not getting paid for my efforts.
Instead, my participation is part of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity’s new project on Latin American Liberty. The Center started this project because there are so many key developments happening in that region.
- Great – perhaps miraculous – developments in Argentina
- A horrible history – but perhaps better future – in Venezuela
- A remarkable – but stalled – transition to free markets in Chile
- Economy-sapping statism in Brazil and Mexico

Speaking of Mexico, the other announcement today is that I’m in Mexico City because I am now a visiting professor at Universidad de la Libertad. This afternoon, I’ll be teaching my first class on Foundational Principles of Economics to a class of lucky students.
Or maybe not so lucky. We’ll see what happens.
P.S. I’m not giving up on economic liberty in North America (though Canada seems hopeless) And I’m not giving up on Europe (where good places like Switzerland offset basket cases such as France). Or the rest of the world, for that matter. I’m simply saying that Latin America is where big things are happening
