You say it like these policies were actually intended to solve any problem other than porky's wallet not being fat enough.

I think Milei is a true believer. He's devoted his life to the study of ridiculous AnCap economics. I think he thinks that making his & his buddies' wallets fatter is how you fix the Argentinian economy. He's wrong and stupid, but I think he's good faith.

I don't believe that personally. I think he knows full-well he's a comprador and he relishes it.

I think he is a "true believer" in the sense that he thinks making his & his buddies' wallets fatter is his god-given right. I don't think he believes it will help the average Argentinian.
