"Argentina's Economic Crisis Fuels Rise of Radical Outsider in Presidential Election"

TL;DR Summary
Argentines voted in a tense national election, with a far-right libertarian, Javier Milei, leading the race for the presidency. The election comes amid the country's worst economic crisis in two decades, with high inflation and widespread poverty. Milei's shock therapy approach includes dollarizing the economy, privatizing state entities, and slashing the size of government. The election is expected to have significant implications for Argentina's political landscape, financial markets, and international relations. A runoff vote is likely as no outright winner is expected.
