"Actually existing libertarianism: Argentina's economy is in free fall under libertarian leader Javier Milei. The currency is collapsing the bond market is in crisis the huge bubble he inflated in the stock market has popped and manufacturing output (ie the real economy) has crashed. Milei was already gifted a $XX billion lifeline from the US-controlled IMF and the World Bank (after Argentina already owed more debt to the IMF than any other country) but even that was not enough to stabilize Milei's crazy Austrian School experiment. So now the US government is pledging to bail out the proud"

""As a result of China's massive supply the cost of generating electricity from solar has now fallen to a global average of around $XXXX per kilowatt hourmaking it the cheapest energy source in history". Meanwhile Western officials complain about China's so-called "overcapacity" which is precisely what is making a transition away from fossil fuels possible for the world.

"The AI bubble in the US stock market is driven by a speculative frenzy that is very dangerous. Margin debt money investors borrow from brokers often to buy stocks has spiked to new highs. This is extremely risky. When the bubble pops the deleverage will be very painful and could exacerbate a financial crisis. As stocks fall investors will sell off stocks to pay their creditors driving the market down even more. And the US real economy is so absurdly financialized that a crash in the stock market will undoubtedly cause a harsh recession. Source:"
