@Bangershell11 @mises The Central Bank's peso denominated debt that needed to be bought back in the Ocampo plan was precisely the sterilized monetary mass that has already been taken care of by slowly injecting it into circulation. They have enough dollars to buy back all the pesos in circulation.

It depends on the dollarization plan. The Ocampo plan which Milei subscribed entailed the government "buying" all the pesos with dollars. This included peso denominated debt. During his first term, he would be buying at rock bottom prices (peso weak) and would have been ruined politically according to Milei. Now, it might be more politically sustainable with a stronger peso, but if you are using your dollars to buy the pesos at the same time you have to pay maturities in dollars, you can run into a "working capital" problem where you don't have dollars to actually pay maturities (which Argentina has few anyways)

@ManuGarGojMX @mises I still think "working capital" could be an issue. I, of course, am in favor of dollarization.

@Bangershell11 @mises I don't see why not. Liquidating the Central Bank withdraws the pesos from circulation but doesn't reduce the amount of dollars available to the government and can even increase it.

I appreciate the point, but it's not accurate. Politically they now have the necessary majority to push the relevant reforms, but you could even argue it could be done without Congress. In terms of foreign debt, you need to look at the Central Bank and the Treasury separately. The Treasury has an account at the Central Bank. The Central Bank has more than enough dollars to withdraw all pesos from circulation, including those in the Treasury's account. This means that in a dollarization the government would keep all the dollars that belong to them and they would start receiving more dollars through taxation, so there would be no problems to pay the foreign debt.

@mises @ManuGarGojMX It was politically infeasible, at least in his first term. They also have very few dollars relative to the payments in dollars. If Milei has to exchange all pesos for dollars, what's left to pay foreign debt?

@JMilei No dudo que pronto desaparezca la inflación. Aún con la estabilidad es necesario destruir las herramientas de opresión monetaria. Que la gente siga demandando pesos no es excusa para no liquidar el banco central. mises.org/power-market/m…

INFLACIÓN El dato es malo. El dato no nos gusta ya que la inflación nos repugna. Sin embargo, hoy elementos duros que nos permiten explicar lo que ha pasado y especialmente esperar que a futuro la inflación retorne a su sendero decreciente. VLLC! PD: hoy explicaré en AmCham
totocaputo@LuisCaputoAR

✅ El IPC Nacional registró en marzo una variación mensual de 3,4%, con una suba de 3,2%, 5,1% y 1,0% en las categorías núcleo, regulados y estacionales, respectivamente. ✅ Fuerte desaceleración de la Canasta Básica Alimentaria, que pasó de una suba de 3,2% mensual en febrero a 2,2% en marzo. Por su parte, la variación mensual de la Canasta Básica Total bajó de 2,7% en febrero a 2,6% en marzo. ✅ En el mes se registró un impacto significativo de la guerra en Medio Oriente, en línea con los efectos registrados en otros países. Asimismo, la economía continúa atravesando un proceso de corrección de precios relativos, lo que se verificó principalmente en los precios de los servicios regulados y en Carnes y Derivados. ✅ La inflación núcleo excluyendo carnes se mantuvo en 2,5%, la misma variación que en febrero. Esto indica que, más allá de shocks puntuales, el componente subyacente de la inflación se mantuvo estable. ✅ Entre los impactos directos de la situación internacional pueden citarse las subas de 9% en combustibles, 24% en pasajes de avión de cabotaje y de 22% en transporte interurbano. ✅ El capítulo Educación registró una suba mensual de 12,1%, la más baja de los últimos 8 años para el mes de marzo. ✅ La inflación es un fenómeno monetario, y puede acelerarse por un aumento en la oferta monetaria, una caída en la demanda o una combinación de ambas. A medida que el impacto rezagado del desplome pre electoral en la demanda de dinero el año pasado vaya perdiendo fuerza, el orden fiscal y monetario permitirán que la inflación continúe su convergencia hacia niveles internacionales.

Ecuador and Montenegro both dumped their local currencies and “dollarized.” Stability and growth followed.  Meanwhile, Argentina is plagued with the peso and lags behind. IT'S TIME FOR ARGENTINA TO DITCH THE PESO AND DOLLARIZE.

@NewmanJ_R @ThoBishop This is going to be the great debate of our time. I'm already planning to focus on inventories and pricing in retail markets for my next research project.

Really, really important discussion going on here. This issue, I believe, is a (but not the) great divide between macroeconomic theories, with Keynes, Friedman, MMT in one camp and Menger, Bohm-Bawerk, Mises, Fetter, Hutt, Salerno in the other. The issue seems so simple: why don't prices change sometimes, when there has been a change in demand? But a ton hangs in the balance: the existence of idle resources, sticky prices, the possibility for government spending/money printing to address recessions, the nature of recessions, the nature of prices, the meaning of "equilibrium," etc.
Jonathan Newman@NewmanJ_R

@GeorgeSelgin @david_glasner If a price doesn't change after a decrease in buyers' demands, it means that sellers prefer to hold the good instead of parting with it at a lower price. Markets continue to clear. I mean this in all honesty and openness to correction: where is my error?

Spending does not determine prices. "The mechanical passing of a specific sum of money from one hand to the next in exchange, that is, 'spending,' is completely governed by the money price that has been antecedently established by the exchanging parties. Thus the money spent is merely an outcome of the pricing process and in no sense a causal factor. In other words, the aggregate flow of money spending is determined by the value of money and not the other way around." - Salerno

The success of the Mises Institute is due to the genius of Rockwell, but the academic leadership of Rothbard and Salerno has been essential to reestablishing the Austrian School and creating a home and environment for like-minded thinkers to exist and thrive. @MisesScholars
Ryan McMaken@ryanmcmaken

Rothbard never tired of fighting the fight of serious academic economics. And we carry on that work at the Mises Institute today. Rockwell notes: "How appropriate that [Salerno] is also Murray’s successor as our academic vice president."

@ograu90 I've grown more uncomfortable with Milei's Zionist stance as events have transpired. Still, none of Milei's statements are as extreme as what caused the removal of Block's title.

Are you a libertarian, Manuel? Following your logic, the Mises Institute should never have revoked Walter Block’s Senior Fellow status. He hasn’t dropped bombs on Palestinians either. So I suppose Block’s Zionist stance should also be inconsequential to the things you care about.
Manuel García Gojon 🪙@ManuGarGojMX

@DionBridger @anarchyinblack I don't care if it's true that Milei achieved the presidency by being a zionist. I don't think it's likely, having followed the events in Argentina for years, but I don't care. Milei's zionist stance is inconsequential to the things I care about.
