How Argentina Broke Its Inflation Addiction in 18 Months

Argentina was the world's most stubborn inflation story — annual price growth above 200 percent, a currency that lost half its value every year, and a public that had learned to treat the peso like a hot potato. Then Javier Milei took office and did what economists said was impossible: he crushed inflation without a full dollarization. This episode walks through the specific mechanism — how the central bank stopped printing to finance the deficit, how the Treasury switched to peso-denominated debt that investors actually trusted, and how a country that had suffered hyperinflation since the 1940s finally broke the cycle. Lucas and Luna unpack the numbers, the political calculus, and whether this is a genuine turnaround or just another Argentine false dawn. Plus, a listener-supported segment on why covering fiscal policy without ads matters. #Argentina #JavierMilei #Inflation #CentralBank #FiscalPolicy #MonetaryPolicy #Deficit #Peso #Hyperinflation #EconomicReform #Treasury #DebtMarkets #Economics #GovernmentSpending #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FiscalPolicyPodcast #Macroeconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
