Well, well, well! That rather short article is surprisingly on-target!
This is far better journalism than I expect from the Guardian. No doubt the author will find himself looking for a job soon.

Totally agree. Really informative, clear, and concise article. I don’t pretend to understand the economics too well but felt like one of few articles that actually went some way in explaining well the anomaly of an economy that Argentina has

Ummmmmm, this is an editorial, with no by-line. As the title of editorial says:

So I guess the entire editorial board should be looking for a job soon? I don't understand your point @Redpossum

The last sentence of the editorial: "In chasing ideological purity and Trumpian favour, he deepens Argentina’s chronic instability and drags the IMF’s global credibility down with him."

I 100% agree that Milei is deepening Argentina's chronic instability. However, I don't agree at all with the suggestion that the IMF has global credibility. And I still think the Guardian is an excellent newspaper.
