Disinflation, Gnocchis and Gorgeous George

Argentina's change in fortune, Milei says "¡Afuera!" to 70k public jobs, and tall tales from our time in Dubai...

Joel Bowman, wishing you and your family a happy Easter from the End of the World…

The Notes headquarters (which is to say, the door to our home office) is closed today while your editor enjoys a relaxing break with dear wifey and our highly chocolate-charged daughter.

We’ll be back with our regular Notes on Tuesday.

In the meantime, please enjoy last week’s musings, in which we looked at plummeting inflation here in Argentina (which had, just a few months ago, the highest rate in the world)…

…how to hack back the termite-ridden branches of a bloated, administrative state (hint: start with firing 70,000 “gnocchis”)…

…and some confessions from our stint as a newspaperman, including “our time with Gorgeous George” (Clooney).

All that and more, below…

Whatever you’re up to this weekend, we hope you’re enjoying it in fine company and good cheer.

Stay tuned for more Notes From the End of the World…

Cheers,

Joel

P.S. As always, a special thanks to our Notes members for their kind support. If you’d like to join our small but rapidly growing community of political orphans, pensive contrarians and independent thinkers, kindly consider becoming a member here, today…
