I am dedicated to teaching the economy in a simple way, from beginning to end.

I am an economist, a MSc, a Phd and was visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. 

 

I am dedicated in three things

  • Working to improve the positive image of the Brazilian economy for international investors

  • Speaking and professing of MBA courses at one of Brazilian's most esteemed universities

  • Sharing my passion through writing books and articles, which helps me achieve a certain level of recognition in Brazil. I am greatful for having more than 1 million readers.

 

About me

Whenever I can, I give speeches and interviews. I am an economist whose role is to project the exact Exchange Rate for a given date, or determine if the real estate prices will go up or down this month. I AM JUST KIDDING! I don t think this should be the role of the Economist.

 

For more than ten years I dedicated myself to understanding the function of capital markets, sometimes making rules for banks or being one of their supervisors. But I felt like I had to do something more, I wanted to help society understand the economy and to be prepared for their financial future, where sometimes countries and pension funds go broke.  Since then, I have kept writing books and papers in order to help people make the right decisions regarding financial matters.

 

I was born in Santos, a city sometimes remembered because of Pelé, the soccer player. The city is close to São Paulo, the Brazilian business center. Since I was a teenager, I kept track of real estate prices in Santos. The geography of this island limited the supply of houses. I have never understood why the prices go up and down.

 

Because of this curiosity I started my undergraduate studies at University of São Paulo, which is considered to be one of the best schools in Brazil for economics. There I wrote one of the first works about human behavior and economics in Brazil.  After finishing my Bachelor's degree in Economy, I got a Master Degree and PhD in Business Management. 

 

I thought everyone else would have the same doubts that I did about how economics works; then I started writing books based on my conclusions about real estate, mutual funds, career in finance, and other subjects in practical economics. Over time, I contributed to over 20 books, organized more than 40 events and received numerous awards.
