618		<h1>President</h1>
619<p style="text-align: justify;">Mr. de Soto is currently President of the ILD &mdash;headquartered in Lima, Peru&mdash; considered by <em>The Economist</em> as one of the two most important think tanks in the world. <em>Time</em> magazine chose him as one of the five leading Latin American innovators of the century in its special May 1999 issue "Leaders for the New Millennium", and included him among the 100 most influential people in the world in 2004.</p>
620 
621<p style="text-align: justify;">Mr. de Soto was also listed as one of 15 innovators "who will reinvent your future" according to <em>Forbes</em> magazine&rsquo;s 85th anniversary edition. In January 2000, <em>Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit</em>, the German development magazine, described Mr. de Soto as one of the most important development theoreticians of the last millennium. In his speech opening the 2004 World Economic Forum at Davos, former US President Bill Clinton described him as &ldquo;the world&rsquo;s most important living economist.&rdquo; In October 2005, over 20,000 readers of <em>Prospect</em> magazine of the UK and <em>Foreign Policy</em> of the US ranked him among the top 13 "public intellectuals" in the world from the magazines&rsquo; joint list of 100; in April 2013, some 10,000 Prospect readers ranked him number 36 out of 65 top world thinkers.</p>
622<p style="text-align: justify;">Mr. de Soto has served as an economist for the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, as President of the Executive Committee of the Copper Exporting Countries Organization (CIPEC), as CEO of Universal Engineering Corporation (Continental Europe&rsquo;s largest consulting engineering firm), as a principal of the Swiss Bank Corporation Consultant Group, and as a governor of Peru&rsquo;s Central Reserve Bank. &nbsp;In the early 1990s, he led the effort to insert Peru into the global economy; and, with his ILD team, drafted and promoted more than 187 laws that gave the poorest Peruvians access to economic opportunities, including title to their property and businesses; and created the national office of Ombudsman to defend the constitutional and human rights of the Peruvian people (<em>Defensor&iacute;a del Pueblo</em>).</p>
623<p style="text-align: justify;">In the last 30 years, Mr. de Soto and his colleagues at the ILD have been involved in designing and implementing legal reform programs to empower the poor in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and former Soviet nations by granting them access to the same property and business rights &mdash;and the institutions and tools needed to exercise those rights and freedoms&mdash; that the majority of people in developed countries have. Over 30 heads of state have invited him to carry out these ILD programs in their countries. During the past few years, Mr. de Soto has been focusing on three new kinds of problems that have emerged around the world, which he has translated into three new strategies stemming from the ILD&rsquo;s property rights paradigm: i) the financial crisis; ii) the increasing number of conflicts in developing countries between local communities and private corporations over control of mineral rich territories and agricultural lands; and, iii) the Arab Spring. At the root of each of these apparently different problems, he argues, is the lack of enforceable formal property and business rights and/or the lack of information about them. &nbsp;Mr. de Soto&rsquo;s reform vision and the ILD&rsquo;s work in Peru, Africa and the Middle East has been featured in three one-hour documentary films broadcast throughout the US on PBS, the national public television network, and available on-line at FreetoChoose.TV: &nbsp;"The Power of the Poor with Hernando de Soto (2009); "Globalization at the Crossroads with Hernando de Soto&rdquo; (2011); and "Unlikely Heroes of the Arab Spring&rdquo; (2013).</p>
624<p style="text-align: justify;">Mr. de Soto also co-chaired with former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright the Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor, and currently serves as honorary co-chair on various boards and organizations, including the World Justice Project. &nbsp;In 2005, the President of Peru appointed Mr. de Soto as his personal representative to design and implement Peru&rsquo;s free trade program so as to give the poor access to the globalized economy; and also to draw up the strategy to convince the U.S. to sign the Free Trade Agreement with Peru, which it did in 2006.</p>
625<p style="text-align: justify;">Mr. de Soto has published two books about economic and political development: <em>The Other Path</em> (1986) and <em>The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else</em> (2000). &nbsp;The latter has been translated into some 30 languages, has sold over 2,000,000 copies worldwide and has received 25 prizes in Europe and North America. &nbsp;His work has been the subject of several books, including: &nbsp;<em>The Mystery of Capital and the Construction of Social Reality</em>
625 (2008), which examines the philosophical implications of Mr. de Soto&rsquo;s ideas; <em>Realizing Property Rights</em> (2008); <em>Hernando de Soto and Property in a Market Economy</em> (2010), which looks at his work from the legal point of view; and from the economic perspective <em>The World&rsquo;s 12 Most Important Economists</em> &nbsp;(<em>Die zw&ouml;lf wichtigsten &Ouml;konomen der Welt</em>, 2007), which profiles him among a list that begins with Adam Smith and ends with recent Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz; and <em>The facts are in: The Arab Spring is a Massive Economic Revolution</em> (2012).</p>
626<p style="text-align: justify;">Here follow some of the international recognition and prizes he has received over the past two decades or so: in February 2015, the German newspaper <em><strong>Handelsblatt</strong></em> included Mr. de Soto among the 25 most important thinkers of our time; (2011) the Latin American <strong>Innovative American&rsquo;s Award</strong> deemed him an icon and legend for his revolutionary ideas on the eradication of poverty worldwide; (2010) the <strong>Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Cabinet (Council of Ministers)</strong> by the International Scientific Committee of the Pio Manzu Centre in Italy in recognition of his contribution toward the betterment of humankind, and the <strong>Hayek Medal</strong> by the Friedrich A. von Hayek-Gesellschaft for his theories on liberal development policy ("market economy from below&rdquo;) and for the appropriate implementation of his concepts by two Peruvian presidents; (2009) <strong>Honorary Member of the University Philosophical Society of Trinity College</strong> (Ireland), and the inaugural <em><strong>Hernando de Soto Award for Democracy</strong></em> by the Center of International Private Enterprise (CIPE) in recognition of his extraordinary achievements in furthering economic freedom in Peru and throughout the developing world; (2007) the <strong>PODER-BCG BUSINESS AWARD</strong> established by the Latin American business magazine Poder and the Boston Consulting Group for the "Best Anti-Poverty Initiative&rdquo;, and the <strong>Humanitarian Award</strong> by Project Concern International in recognition of his work to help poor people participate in the market economy; (2006) the annual <strong>Bradley Prize</strong> by the Bradley Foundation for outstanding achievement, and <strong><em>The Economist Magazine&rsquo;s</em> Innovation Award</strong> for outstanding work in economics; (2005) an <strong>Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters</strong> from the University of Buckingham (United Kingdom), <strong>The Americas Award</strong> (USA) by The Americas Foundation Inc., one of the <strong>Most Outstanding Peruvians of 2004</strong> by the Peruvian National Assembly of University Rectors, the <strong>German Foundation for Property (Deutsche Stiftung Eigentum) prize</strong>, the Academy of Achievement's <strong>Golden Plate Award</strong> (USA), the <strong>BearingPoint</strong>, Forbes magazine&rsquo;s seventh Compass Award for Strategic Direction; (2004) <strong>The Templeton Freedom Prize</strong> (USA) and <strong>The Milton Friedman Prize</strong> (USA), as well as the Royal Decoration of the <strong>Most Admirable Order of the Direkgunabhorn</strong>, 5th Class, (Thailand); (2003) the <strong>Downey Fellowship at Yale University</strong> (2002); <strong>The Goldwater Award</strong> (USA), <strong>The Adam Smith Award</strong> from the Association of Private Enterprise Education (USA), and <strong>The CARE Canada Award</strong> for Outstanding Development Thinking (Canada). (1995) <strong>The Freedom Prize</strong> (Switzerland), and (1990) <strong>The Fisher Prize</strong> (United Kingdom).</p>
