Argentina welcomed a new president on Dec. 10, pledging profound economic reforms in the country, including the dissolution of the central bank along with a number of other measures aimed at reducing government size and spending.<\/p>\n

President Javier Gerardo Milei is also known as \u201cEl Loco\u201d (the crazy one), a nickname he\u00a0earned at school due to his explosive personality. During his campaign, Milei pushed his \u201ccrazy\u201d persona onto the stage, proposing disruptive measures to a population heavily burdened with a\u00a0161% annual inflation rate as of November. <\/p>\n

His economic proposals are based on his decades of experience as an economist, ranging from advising politicians to working on private pension funds and banks, and as a professor of macroeconomics and microeconomics, having published several papers about economic growth.<\/p>\n
