| Sumario: | In the following paper we will undertake a critical, spoilsport, and pessimistic reading, as the author in question would say, of the article "From the Flintstones to the Jetsons: Wonders of Technological Progress with Convergence" (2014) by Javier Milei, then Chief Economist of Fundación Acordar. To do so, we will reconstruct the narrative of the future proposed by Milei, focusing on his theoretical assumptions (mainly the economic Singularity), the epistemological operations that establish the regime of truth of his arguments (what we call here Statistical Providentialism) and the techno-economic optimism that shapes his vision of history past, present and to come. |
