Every revolution needs three things: a philosophy, a doctrine, and a country where it worked. Mileism is the first movement in a century to have all three. Its philosophy is Austrian economics, a tradition older than the welfare state it attacks. Its doctrine has been inherited, argued, and extended by a new generation of economists that Milei's own work brought in. And its proof is Argentina.That combination makes Mileism the first revolutionary ideology the West has produced since Marxism, but with a big difference: Mileism produces prosperity instead of scarcity, and it requires no totalitarian rule and no gulags. It already has imitators from Santiago to Brasilia. There is no longer a Western capital where it is not being argued about, including Washington. His zero deficit policy, delivered in a single month alongside a sweepingderegulation decree, produced a tremendous effect on growth and brought inflation and poverty down further than anyone expected. Argentina is the only country that stopped debating public spending and cut it, and then found out what happens next. It is the one example left for economies that have run out of solutions under the weight of their debt, their public spending and a chronic deficit. This book explains what Mileism is, and why Milei's shock therapy is winning. Michael Miguères is a French entrepreneur and a former Forbes columnist. He is president of the Institute for Progress, a free-market think tank in Paris, and he has worked inside the machine he now writes about: advisor in the French government, national officer of France's main center-right party. He left politics for the private sector and has written several books on politics and economics.

Et si l'Argentine avait osé ce que les grandes démocraties n'osent plus ? En quelques mois, Javier Milei, économiste libertarien sans parti ni appareil, a conquis la présidence avec une promesse jugée impossible : rétablir la stabilité monétaire, réduire drastiquement la dépense publique et rendre aux citoyens la maîtrise de leur destin. Mais, arrivé au pouvoir, il engage une politique de rupture. Ce que beaucoup pensaient irréalisable pour le pays est désormais acté : déficit zéro, réduction du nombre de ministères, choc budgétaire, dérégulation accélérée. Le « mileisme » s'inscrit dans une vision cohérente, nourrie par l'École autrichienne d'économie et une critique radicale de l'interventionnisme. Michael Migueres en explore les fondements, la stratégie culturelle et la logique de la thérapie de choc. Il ne s'agit ni d'un éloge ni d'un réquisitoire, mais d'une enquête : que produit réellement une politique fondée sur la liberté économique, la responsabilité individuelle et la réduction du rôle de l'État ? Alors que la France s'enfonce dans les déficits et que la performance des services publics est contestée, le « mileisme » constitue-t-il une voie de réforme ou une expérience à haut risque ? Annonce-t-il un basculement des démocraties occidentales ?
