Javier Milei was elected as Argentina’s new president.

But Milei, a 53-year-old economist, has rocked Argentina’s political establishment and inserted himself into what has long been effectively a two-party system by amassing a groundswell of support with his prescriptions of drastic measures to rein in soaring inflation and by pledging to crusade against the creep of socialism in society.

Time will tell if he’s the cure. I have doubts.

UPDATE: I had to check. This would appear to indicate “no”.
