Acerca de mí y mi "filosofía política"

ABOUT ME

Pablo Presas was born (1971) in Argentina and grew up in the town of Concepcion del Uruguay (Entre Rios), situated 280km north of the Federal Capital. After finishing his secondary studies in the historical Colegio Justo Jose de Urquiza, he moved to Buenos Aires where he completed a degree (Licentiate) in Economics from the prestigious University of Buenos Aires (1998). In 2002 he accepted an academic-based scholarship from Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College and moved to Florida (USA) to obtain an MBA with concentration in Finance. Following graduation, he was inducted to the Honor Society of Beta Gamma Sigma, the highest recognition a business student can receive in a business program accredited by AACSB International.
He supported his undergraduate studies working full-time as a banking analyst and doing economic research for the Strategic Plan of the City of Buenos Aires. As a professional, after enhancing his economic-analysis skills, he moved to the Department of Agriculture, within the Argentine National Minister of Economy, where he helped run, manage and control several investment projects funded with loans from the World Bank. During his year at Crummer Graduate School, he helped with the Portfolio Management of the Crummer-SunTrust Endowment Fund.
Today, he is back in Argentina and works as a freelance business & financial consultant


ABOUT MY POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

According to the this quiz, I am a Centrist. The RED DOT on the Chart shows where you fit on the political map.


CENTRIST

Centrists espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.


ACERCA DE LAS IDEAS DE UN "CENTRIST"

Sumario extraído del Centrist Policy "Manifesto"

The framers put it best. People should form governments to protect "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." That implied a limited role for the public sector -- the belief was (and is) that free people will be best equipped to prosper without undue direction from their government.

However, as the economy gets more complex, the role of government has necessarily expanded. Prosperity (and freedom) can be enhanced by governments that can effectively address problems associated with technological change, business cycles, globalization, inflation (or deflation), poverty, and so on.

Centrists believe in limited, but effective government. Our job is to help clarify what government should try to do, and then offer solid ideas and plans for how to solve problems within that scope of activity, in the national interest.

Our theory is that a government of the proper scope that is grounded in problem-solving and economic logic will best serve the people who created it.
