Who Controls the Price of Lithium? Pablo Rutigliano Answers on His New Educational Channel

Pablo Rutigliano launches his educational YouTube channel exposing lithium cartelization, promoting transparency, economic traceability, and the defense of national sovereignty

Given the urgent need for transparency in the management of the nation's strategic resources, Pablo Rutigliano, CEO of Atómico 3 and President of the Latin American Chamber of Lithium, announces the official launch of his educational channel on YouTube. This new digital platform was created with a clear objective: to democratize knowledge about the commodities economy and break the media silence surrounding the practices that define the current lithium market in Argentina and the region.

In his latest video, entitled "Lithium Cartelization," Rutigliano inaugurates this space with a forceful denunciation and an in-depth technical analysis of the structure of the mining market. Far from being a traditional corporate channel, the entrepreneur uses this medium to speak directly to citizens, legislators, and economic actors about the dangers of a concentrated and opaque industry.

The Complaint: A Cartelized and Undervalued Market

In this audiovisual piece, which is already generating debate in the sector, Rutigliano warns of the existence of "mining cartelization" in Argentina. He argues that a small group of large extractive companies and international capital exert a coordinated dominant position, resulting in the undervaluation of lithium at source. According to the expert, this maneuver directly harms the producing provinces and the national economic interest, as Argentina acts merely as a supplier of cheap raw materials while the financial and technological value is captured abroad.

"This is not discussed, or people avoid talking about it," Rutigliano points out in his editorial, referring to the complicity of certain associations and media outlets financed by the mining industry. His channel was created precisely in response to this information gap, offering data on how the lack of publication of local financial statements and the absence of effective controls facilitate evasion and delay the development of a real value chain, such as the manufacture of batteries and electric vehicles in the country.

Education for Economic Sovereignty

The purpose of the channel goes beyond reporting; it is fundamentally educational and proactive. Rutigliano uses his experience to explain complex concepts such as economic traceability, which he defines as the ability to visualize the resource from its origin to its final product, ensuring not only environmental compliance (such as the Glacier Law) but also fiscal justice.

Through his content, Rutigliano proposes concrete solutions: the creation of a local metals market that allows Argentina to set prices, the implementation of traceable value indices, and the tokenization of assets to audit reserves in real time. His vision is that without these tools, announcements of "major investments" are empty of real content for the regional economy.

This new channel is positioned as an essential reference for understanding the geopolitics of natural resources from a national and sovereign perspective. Rutigliano invites students, economists, and citizens concerned about the future of the country to subscribe and participate in a debate that traditional institutions have postponed for too long.
