Working in anarcho-capitalism: pressing the tires, that was the ascent

Argentina is undergoing a radical economic transformation under President Javier Milei's reforms, which have led to significant disruptions in traditional industries. The case of Alejandro Assuma, a former tire factory worker in San Fernando, illustrates the human cost of these changes. After working at the Fate tire plant for 21 years, Assuma was abruptly laid off when the factory closed without warning, leaving 920 workers unemployed. The factory, once a cornerstone of Argentina's industrial base and a symbol of stability for its employees, now stands abandoned, reflecting the broader impact of Milei's market-oriented policies. Assuma has since turned to driving for Uber, highlighting the shift from stable, unionized manufacturing jobs to gig economy work.
