WHO AM I ?

-------------------------º-----------------------

A Note:

I have been closely following world economic and financial crises for over 30 years. I have even "experienced" some of them as an entrepreneur (Information Technology), others as a senior executive (Purchasing Manager) for global companies (Akso-Nobel (Intervet), Beecham Inc. among others) but most importantly I have experienced them as a common citizen in México. These crises usually started with bubbles of some sort, then extremely harsh devaluations followed by no lesser extreme economic-depression conditions. My academic interest (global business economics) is apparent by the information gathering with this tool (blog) for the last 3 years which is no more than a small sample taken from my activities during the last 3 decades. I invite you to check the start of this global crisis reviewing this "blog's archive events" right here.

Is it necessary to have all thought currents in mind when forecasting World Economic Events (or crises)?

The Theory of Knowledge has always been an intrinsic part of any serious World Events Analysis. Science (with Mathematics at the forefront) and perception (Intuitionnisme Logique) play the other two important parts!

The most important resource in life is "TIME"..... Money, knowledge & Technology help us to buy "TIME" to get or to do things!.......knowledge is ultimately the most powerful tool we have to help us succeed in life, to gain "TIME". (Whatever the "Success" word means to everyone)

"Productivity" encompasses this "TIME" importance, be it in Macro, Micro or Personal economics....(Corporations or Nations, Family or Work)

Those who master the true meaning of this word are bound to be "Ahead of the Curve" (with a little help of circumstance, of course)

A solid background in Philosophy which has shaped my ideas expressed throughout this blog, complemented with an extense empirical knowledge on the way multinational corporations behave (worked for Beecham International Pharmaceutical Co., Akso Nobel, among others). Also of help has been a profound insight of the intricacies of labor and multi-factor productivity from applied technological tools and its correlated human capital advances, which stemmed mainly from years of being at the helm of an important IT consulting firm at the beginnings of the personal computer revolution (1980s). Underlining all of the above are my studies in management and business economics which allowed me to innitiate, add and compare my ideas with the world most respectable intellectuals' findings (Many of them Nobel Prize winners) whose theories they are known for.

My interest in World Financial Markets has its roots on personal life and work experiences originating from the 1976, 1982, 1986 and 1994 Mexican macro-devaluations (most traumatic historic economic events).
