Hi everybody. Tom Woods here. It's episode 2714 of the Tom Woods show, and I'm glad to welcome back Scott Scheller to the show who has written extensively on particularly the topic we're talking about today, which is Javier Malay, who is president of Argentina, and he's probably attracted more attention from libertarians

0:45.3

1:45.4

but also what's his basic philosophy that would cause some people to cheer and others to be

1:53.2
