Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute joins Bill Walton to discuss private property in new Argentina president Javier Milei’s controversial political philosophy.
Milei outspokenly identifies as an ‘Ancap’, an anarcho-capitalist, a philosophy Milei arrived at through his study of economics. Simply, in other words, Tucker suggests, “It protects private property. It protects human rights but doesn’t introduce the grave moral hazard of having a monopoly on power in the part of the state.”
Private property is a central tenet of this philosophy. Tucker further explains, “The protection of private property is most compatible with the thing we all want, which is peace with our neighbors. You can’t have peace with your neighbors if you can’t recognize the difference between what’s mine and thine. That’s how we get along with each other.”
Altogether, Milei’s philosophy is not as radical as the mainstream media paints it, and Tucker is optimistic for his presidency and the direction he can take Argentina based on the moves he’s already made to reduce the bureaucratic state.
