      <p class="bh-pitch">Why did an Argentine president take office reciting, from memory, an economics professor's definition of freedom? Because that idea had been traveling for more than a century and a half. This book follows the chain, one thinker per chapter, from an 1871 Vienna classroom to today's Casa Rosada.</p>

      <h2 class="bp-heading" style="font-size: clamp(28px, 3.5vw, 42px); margin-bottom: 28px;">One thinker per chapter. One idea per chapter.</h2>
      <p style="font-family: 'Fraunces', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.75; color: var(--ink-soft);">From Menger to Milei is the Austrian School told with no jargon, no equations, and no footnotes. Menger and subjective value. Mises and why socialism can't do the math. Hayek and the road to serfdom. Plus Böhm-Bawerk, Rothbard, Kirzner, the School of Salamanca, Bastiat, Hazlitt, Sowell, and Adam Smith. All the way to the Argentine bridge: Alberto Benegas Lynch, whose definition Milei recited from memory on the day he took office.</p>
      <p style="font-family: 'Fraunces', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.75; color: var(--ink-soft);">If you're following what's happening in Argentina and want to understand the ideas behind it, not the political fight, but where they come from, this book is for you: where the notions about money, markets, and freedom now argued in the street come from, and why so many people are drawn to the results they promise. You don't need to know economics; just curiosity.</p>
      <p style="font-family: 'Fraunces', serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.6; color: var(--ink); font-style: italic;">And it ends on the question that decides everything: can these ideas outlive the man who brought them to power?</p>
      <p style="font-family: 'Fraunces', serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.75; color: var(--ink-soft);">Part of the Liberty Island Series, a companion to the novel <a href="">No Silver on Rat Island</a>.</p>
