Two Conservatives Challenge the Davos Divas
What did the New World Order Think of Argentina President Javier Milei?
PUBLIUS SPECIAL GUEST: Lee Habeeb, creator and host of Our American Stories, a podcast and weekly syndicated radio show.
Both men are lifelong academics and educators, one an economist and the other a historian. Both are leaders of conservative movements within their respective countries: Javier Milei is the president of Argentina and Kevin Roberts the president of the Heritage Foundation, America's premier conservative research and advocacy group.
Both were at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, last week speaking on behalf of national sovereignty and self-governance and against the rise of global governing elites and their business, media and nongovernmental organization allies, many of whom have a habit of gathering in august venues to solve the world's problems.
Into the breach the two men stepped, and neither was there to win a popularity contest. Milei's focus was on economics, and Roberts added cultural issues to the mix too.
"I'm here to tell you that the Western world is in danger," Milei began. "And it's in danger because those who are supposed to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inexorably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty."
Milei was just getting started.
Unfortunately, in recent decades the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism. Some have been motivated by well-meaning individuals who are willing to help others, and others have been motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged caste. We're here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause.
