The deputy of Freedom advances, José Luis Espert, assured in an interview that the new book by the former president Mauricio Macri, “What for”is a copy of “Argentina Devoured”his first book will be published in 2017. Although the liberal said that he has not yet read the text of the PRO leader, from what he saw in the advances that were published by some media, “it is like La Argentina Devorada 2”, he maintained.
However, far from being upset by the supposed similarity in the books, Espert said that he loves that the former president’s speech and his are becoming more and more alike. “Great that there is more and more consensus about the things that Argentina has to do. I would have liked them to attack me less in 2019, but in good time they copy me, ”said the economist.

In his book, Espert postulated that the main problem in Argentina was the triad between politicians, unions and prebendary businessmen, whom the economist blamed as the cause of the country’s economic and social problems. According to his liberal thinking, he also proposed moving towards a context of open and deregulated markets, as well as labor reform and lower public spending. thoughts that coincide with what the advances of Macri’s book reveal.
In chapter 25 of the text, Macri calls for an end to “obsolete legislation in labor, union, social security and fiscal matters” and that “the drastic reduction in public spending should be among the initial measures.” Ideas that are consistent with those marked by the liberal. And he maintains that all areas of the public administration must promote “all the reductions that are urgently and immediately necessary. It will be the only way to make our tax structure stop suffocating private activity, entrepreneurs and citizens”.
Another of the points in which Macri cheats with Espert is in the treatment of public companies. “There is a long list of public companies that must be managed by the private sector without exception, or that must be eliminated,” says Macri, promoting a dynamic imposed by the Menem movement in the 1990s and which did not have the best results.
The release of “Why” will be one day after October 17, a key date for Peronism.
