Well, he didn't bring the chainsaw, but he really ripped it up at CPAC with a lecture.

I'm Scott Ott with Bill Whittle and Stephen Green. This episode of Right Angle is brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.com.

And gentlemen, at the Conservative Political Action Committee's annual meeting, the rock star this time around.

Of course, you know, everybody lives in the shadow of Donald Trump,

which it's basically a pep rally for him these days. But the rock star was a guy who gave an

economics lecture. Javier Malay, the new president of Argentina, shows up at CPAC and gives an

economics lecture, Steve, in Spanish, that had to be

translated, you know, phrase by phrase, line by line to the audience there. And I listen to the

whole thing, and I swear all he did was give an economics lecture. And he explained how economics works, why collectivism doesn't, why free markets are good,

what are the essential necessity of property rights.

And he even got into an analysis of the critique from the left about the fact that free markets, you know, foster the

creation of monopolies and monopolies are inherently bad. And Steve, Javier Malay, made the

argument that, no, monopolies aren't inherently bad. Anybody who says that is only looking at that

small sector of the market. They're not looking at the

economy in general when you see the impact of, let's say, a company that gets monopoly status

and runs other companies out of business. They're not taking the long-term view, and they're

not taking a broad view across the economy. In any case, I'm not here to recapitulate the lecture,

but I thought it was interesting that President Malay gets the chance to make this speech

at CPAC during the week when it was announced that the government of Argentina for the first

time in about 12 years ran a monthly surplus,

this time $597 million.

Steve, it's going to take a while, and there's still, you know, poverty is still going up.
