On September 29, Edgardo Zablotsky will speak about “Argentina, COVID-19 and Leviathan”.

It is clear that there is value in authority because it offers us protection; but nothing is free, to receive protection it is necessary to accept a certain degree of submission, of loss of our freedom. It is difficult to find a more extreme example of this fact than the one provided by Argentina.
