The new leader in Argentina is looking to turn things around economically, things might be painful for some time while they consider new avenues to change the path they've been headed down.
will it work?

Will they be able to reverse the habit of debt building for something more sustainable?
Reversing 'decades of decadence' by political leaders
Will their efforts for change work to drive down inflation? If it does then will it inspire others to act similarly?
Some experts have suggested that radical changes might be the best chance at changing the struggling economy.
Last year it seems, according to some surveying, that many Argentines saw the economy as getting worse and given that this has been ongoing for some time it's no shock that voters might look to anyone proposing drastic changes to try and turn things in a different direction.
There is a lot of pressure on the new leader to see that through and bring about any newfound prosperity that people might be hoping for.
As debt and cost of living worsens in other regions are we going to see voter opinions shift to focusing on new candidates that might be drastically different in terms of spending and the economy? Or will the majority continue supporting the same old song and dance that arguably fueled these issues of debt and inflation in the first place?
