Few political movements have fused emotion and identity with leadership as effectively as Peronism in Argentina. 🇦🇷
Juan Perón mobilized workers, invoked social justice, and cultivated powerful symbolism alongside Eva Perón, creating a movement that still shapes Argentine politics decades later.

Neither #trumpism or #peronism fits easily into the traditional left/right political spectrum. Shoehorning such governments into a category is a fool’s quest.

Is the US drifting into Peronism? We trace the playbook, tariffs and import substitution, national champions, censorship-by-intimidation, and a war on independent institutions, and map it onto Trump’s America: sacking a Fed governor, menacing J-Powell, firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, deploying the National Guard, and the Treasury taking a slice of Intel. Along the way, we tell the family story that makes the point better than any chart: two Italian brothers leave Lombardy in 1950, one goes to Argentina (then the world’s 7th-richest country), the other to the US. Eighty years later, identical genes, opposite outcomes. Why? Institutions. We uncover why “markets” aren’t a moral compass; why an emerging-market test now applies to America; what Turkey teaches about politicos capturing central banks; and how a weaker, politicised dollar would rattle Bretton Woods, push allies away, and turn a stock market priced for perfection into kindling.

Anybody with a passing interest in #geopolitics and #economics are aware of the cautionary tale of #Argentina - a booming country at the beginning of the 20th century, replete with natural resources, managed to squander its advantages as it zigzagged between the weirdness of #peronism and #facist junta’s
Why would we expect a better outcome in America?
It's interesting to watch the pace of Peronism accelerate in this government.
And by interesting, I mean it's terrifying.
