The clash occurred because, an hour later, the candidate of libertarian economic ideas presented his book the end of inflation. “Eliminate the Central Bank, put an end to the inflationary tax scam and return to being a serious country,” reads the cover of this incendiary literary work that recycle old anarcho-capitalist proposals.
