The first in-depth analysis of one of the most radical, disturbing and controversial political proposals of the 21st century.
When Javier Milei burst onto the television scene, he bewitched the audience with his intensity and daring. Soon his speech would begin the transition that led him to become a political actor. During that process he was branded by many as a "local phenomenon", denigrating him because his influence would not have the stature to go out into the world, but soon he grew, the world set its eyes on him and he became the first anarcho-capitalist president in history. Then came Davos, the visit to Israel, his rapprochement with Trump and other leaders of the European and American extreme right... Now Milei is a world reference, a leader against taxes, who wants to extinguish suspicions against billionaires, turning them into heroes. And his popularity grows despite the social difficulties that his shock therapy has entailed.

Everything about Milei is unusual and conflictive, so much so that many questions arise around him: what does his growth mean and what consequences does it bring? How can we understand his "chainsaw" against the State in a country so dependent on it? What is his most likely destiny? What is Milei's relationship with other liberalisms and ultraconservative anarchisms? How can we understand a liberalism that believes in radical change? In this work, the expert in political transformation processes Alberto Mayol clears up the unknowns surrounding the figure of the Argentine leader and details the reasons that have made him the representative of a problematic spirit of our time.
