It is a shame that otherwise liberal supporters of Fujimori and the like have believed this. The tacit premise is that public opinion won’t allow liberal policies. But that only means that liberals must persuade the voters to support liberal policies. As Milei has.

I was on the “Team Hayek” side of a debate with Ned Phelps. “Team Keynes” was Jamie Galbraith and some journalists. Reportedly Ned first agreed to participate, and only then was asked which side he’d like to join. He replied that his views were about 60% Hayek, 40% Keynes.
