“I learned a lot as a small business owner. Respect the businessmen, who have to pay a salary every fortnight, the difficult task of selling. This does not make me a fanatical capitalist by any means. I believe in the role of the State, but at the same time I believe that many times in universities and in academic life,” he said.
& # 8220; In the academic pyramid, the role of the employer. I liked the business world, but I didn’t want to be a printing business. Later I dedicated myself to what we call a cultural company: publishing house, magazine, documentary producer”, recounted the Mexican historian.
