Conference on liberalism and development in Legal
The March 22, in the Philosophy Auditorium of the University of Azuay, was given a conference on Liberalism and Development. The exhibition was organized by Sebastián Guzmán and Pablo Íñiguez, students of the third year of the Faculty of Legal Sciences.
The event began with a talk by Marco Bermeo jurisprudential doctor. The central theme of the paper was based on explaining the difference between liberalism and neoliberalism
Mario Bermeo said that liberalism is derived from the French Revolution with the slogan: life, freedom and private property, known in these times as a right to heritage.
On the other hand, the lawyer explained that neoliberalism was born in the Chicago school with the original name of individualistic liberalism. According to Bermeo, the greatest exponent of this philosophical current was the economist Ludwin Von Misses in proposing the theory of an inefficient State that must be reduced to make way for the free market.
The second part of the conference was given by Galo Salamea, commercial engineer and lawyer at Cordero Moreno y Corral. His presentation was based on explaining how private companies contribute to the country's economy through the supply of quality goods and services.
"When there is a greater offer of products within the market, the one that benefits is the consumer, not the company. The person who is going to acquire a good or service has more options, because the prices are more competitive and real; for that reason, people should not demonize private companies, "said Salamea, adding:

The last part of the event was in charge of the economist Andrés Robalino, Executive Director of the Chamber of Industries of the city of Cuenca.
As the last speaker, he opted for a more participative dynamic and invited the students of the Universidad del Azuay to be intellectually active. There was an exchange of questions and answers where everyone present agreed that the biggest problem for students when leaving universities is unemployment.
Andrés Robalino concluded the event with a different nuance. He proposed that it is not necessary for people to have an economic ideology to be able to take Ecuador to be a first world country. The economist gave a message of union between the different political ideologies, rescuing the positive things of liberalism and socialism.
