It was 2 pm when the rainy weather was reporting a temperature of 68 degrees and the terminal, travelers packed with a lot of countries exhibited some similarity catering courses to the madness of the exchange catering courses floors at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
Minutes later mounted in a taxi through the city towards the mountains, which jealous watcher, Guatemala presented a beautiful surrounding landscape.

At 7 pm filled the reception hall of the hotel to attend the welcome cocktail and meet the rest of the participants. With special taste was Rolf Luders, one of the active participants in the annual meetings of the Alamos Alliance, former minister and member of the famous group of the Chicago Boys in Chile, responsible for rescuing the country from the clutches of socialism and cast it as the most prosperous economy in Latin America. The next few days would be a great opportunity for me to absorb the wisdom and experience of this man.
I was pleasantly surprised to realize the participation of a group of very special women: Florence Roca, Argentina, PhD in Finance and important executive at a financial services company.

The next day, Thomas Fritz, dean of the school of economics at the University, an interesting man mix business and academic, open the first session entitled "Theory of the market process and the free market economy." Based on the ideas of James Buchanan, catering courses Nobel laureate in economics, an interesting discussion irrumpíamos take us to define the economic theory and the theory catering courses of human action, to bring science to the predictable economic behavior. This laid the foundation for the main course of the event:
"The entrepreneur (entrepreneur) as the main impetus for progress." Now at the helm of the discussions pointed to the ideas of another catering courses great economist and philosopher: Israel Kirzner, a professor at New York University and leader of the new generation of Austrian economists.
Product of our discussions emerged the definition of that man so admired by Ayn Rand.
