    Milei’s way: Argentina’s president, a year on

    Milei, Celeste Caeiro, Rosie Bloor, Kinley Salmon, Marie Zegger, Lisa Honsinger, Anne Rowe

    Argentina's President Javier Milei has halved default risk and slashed monthly inflation from 13% to 3% through radical fiscal contraction and the removal of central bank deficit financing, despite pushing poverty rates to 53%. Concurrently, a UN treaty involving 180 nations and major corporations like Coca-Cola aims to bind global plastic production to stricter recycling mandates and biodegradable alternatives, a move supported by startups like Notpla to address the 500 million tonnes of annual waste. The upcoming implementation of this treaty follows the 50th anniversary of Portugal's Carnation Revolution, a non-violent 1974 coup symbolized by worker Celeste Sairu that toppled a 40-year dictatorship.

    Veep show: America meets J.D. Vance

    J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, Rosie Bloor, Jason Palmer, Adam O'Neill, Kinley Salmon, Kenneth Kukie

    Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance delivered a populist speech emphasizing his working-class roots and isolationist economic views to differentiate himself from Donald Trump and reshape the GOP's intellectual foundation. Meanwhile, economists identify Latin America's severe trade underperformance as a result of geographical barriers, economic homogeneity, and political fragmentation that limit intra-regional commerce. Finally, Kenneth Kukie argues that classic literature such as *The Trial* and *Macbeth* provides more profound insights into leadership and organizational chaos than contemporary management manuals.

    Claudia, Jason Palmer, Rosie Bloor, Sarah Burke, Kinley Salmon, Erin Braun, Daniela Levine-Cava, Dr. Rick Spinrad

    Claudia Sheinbaum secured Mexico's presidency as the nation's first female leader, inheriting a legacy marked by Andrés Manuel López Obrador's polarizing reforms and a Morena coalition poised to gain a two-thirds majority in Congress. Concurrently, NOAA forecasts a hyperactive 2024 Atlantic hurricane season driven by record sea surface temperatures and a shifting El Niño pattern, creating severe risks for major landfalls and potential disruptions to the November U.S. election timeline. In media developments, Rosie Bloor joined The Economist Intelligence as a co-host, bringing decades of international correspondent experience to focus on human-centric storytelling amid these global events.
