Bloomberg Talks · Argentina President Javier Milei Talks Free Trade and Global Economy · 22 Jan 2026 podcast

And the money you save, you will spend elsewhere in another sector, and you will create jobs in another economic sector that people are interested in, and this will lead to higher productivity.

So when you open up the economy, you will see a reallocation of resources, but there will be productivity gains due to greater division of labor and higher specialization.

the protectionist argument were true, one day we would decide to close up Argentina.

I will borrow an example from my brilliant, excellent, wonderful deregulation minister that's taken from one of his books.

I used to read him.

I used to always be a big fan of Federico Sturzenegger.

So he said, OK, so let's close up Argentina and then narrow it to the province of Buenos Aires and then further

down to the city of Buenos Aires and then to Palermo, which is just one district.

And then it will be just a couple of blocks.

And the end result of this will be full autarky.

You will live all by yourself.

What will your life be like?

Miserable, because you'll have to make your own shoes, your own socks, your own suits, your own ties, your own shirts.

How do you think you're going to live?

So trade creates a division of labor that leads to increasing returns, leads to productivity gains and to well-being.

This is why more open countries are working.

And Argentina is the most closed country, so we have a lot to do.

I would never call my dog anything left-wing.

I really love my dogs too much to insult them.

This is why they have all been named after liberal economists.
