Episode #2 | Milei Under Pressure as Data Sours and Disenchantment Rises; BA Restaurant Hits Global Hot List Cover

#2 | Milei Under Pressure as Data Sours and Disenchantment Rises; BA Restaurant Hits Global Hot List

Argentina’s recovery under Javier Milei is hitting new headwinds. The macro story still points to stabilization, but the data is getting messier: activity contracted in February, wages are still lagging inflation, and declining tax revenues are raising fresh questions about the sustainability of the budget surplus. Francisco Aldaya and Daniel Politi look at whether the economy has stalled and why so many Argentines feel their lives have gotten worse. They also dig into a more fragile political landscape, with slipping approval ratings, internal tensions, and corruption scandals testing Milei’s promise to be different from Argentina’s traditional political class. Allie Lazar joins to explain why fall may be Buenos Aires’ most wonderful (and riskies) season, puzzle over Argentina’s surprisingly poor showing in a global steakhouse list, and question what these rankings really tell us in the first place. * (00:00) Intro * (00:43) Fran's Brief * (02:37) Dan's Brief * (03:59) Dan's Number * (05:14) Fran's Number * (07:05) Economics Deep Dive * (13:48) Politics Deep Dive * (24:05) The Intersect * (37:52) La Sobremesa Recorded on May 3, 2026
