On this "crossover" episode, Adam Haman and Bob Murphy discuss the critical comments that have been exchanged between Javier Milei, president of Argentina, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe, economist and libertarian theorist.
00:00 — Intro.
01:01 — Why must we fight? Adam and Bob give a breakdown of the "dispute" between Hoppe and Milei and some of the history of Milei's rise in Argentina.
14:05 — What are Milei's accomplishments so far? Lower regulations? Lower inflation? Other?
22:05 — Milei has been cozying up to the US and Israel. Adam has a theory why that is. Also, what dangers does Milei's presidency present for libertarianism in global public opinion?
26:26 — Hoppe and Milei argued about how one should/could end the central bank. Who's right?
47:02 — Should Milei pay back Argentinian debt? Should the US government pay its debts?
