The account Les Mileistes Français reported that Javier Milei had received the award for the best economist of the year the day before, presented by the Paris Economic Forum. According to the account, he explained that his concern for the mechanisms of growth led him to study economics. In his speech, Milei stated that upon taking office, 70% of children were living below the poverty line, including 27% in extreme poverty, in an agricultural country that, according to him, could feed 500 million people. He declared that this rate had since decreased to 45% and that millions of children had been lifted out of poverty. However, he described the situation as still terrible, while presenting the ongoing evolution as the most beautiful in Argentine history. The account reported that Milei thanked several economists, including Philippe Aghion, who was present in the room, Robert Lucas Jr., as well as Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and Murray Rothbard. He also praised his ministerial team and his close associates. According to the account, he became emotional and paused while thanking them. #Économie #Argentine #Croissance (translated)
