"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" (alternatively "you'll own nothing and be happy") is a phrase originating in a 2016 video by the World Economic Forum (WEF), summarising an essay written by Danish politician Ida Auken. The phrase has been used by critics who accuse the WEF of desiring restrictions on ownership of private property.
I always thought private property was a pretty fundamental tenet of free market capitalism. Libertarians are fond of the concept also.

Ok, I'm not pro-taking-away-peoples-property. Like, obviously.
I just think the general direction of more economic freedom and less government restrictions is good.
This encompass literally everything. Wine from Portugal but also cheap labor from Mexico. But also I want the freedom to rent a Tesla for a day - freedom to rent it or buy it however I wish.

I agree with your gradualism idea. I don't trust Melei, but maybe he'll prove me wrong. At least I can't see him making matters worse in Argentina, so that's good, I guess.
