There are many Mexicos. My family history is split between rural and urban Mexico, with roots in the countryside of Jalisco and Coahuila as well as in Mexico City. Across generations, I learned of the fate of uncles and great-uncles who never reached the age I am now. The story of our contemporary Mexico is full of vitality, but it now falls to our generation to carry that momentum forward and take on chronic disease.

Global instability is measured through country risk. Economists use the interest rate as a single barometer to capture a country's situation and compare it across borders. From this one figure, a series of inferences can be drawn about where markets and aggregate economic thinking believe things are headed. Some of us trained in both neoliberal and heterodox economics combine that background with geographic precepts to widen the lens, generating scenarios that are by design u

The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point for social, political, and economic models many took for granted. The emergency exposed critical gaps in how countries and international bodies prevent, respond to, and adapt to crises. It also showed that nations, like individuals, are equally vulnerable regardless of GDP or global alliances.

Every city has a digital footprint: not merely what it produces for online consumption, but the flows of people across its geography and what they exchange through its networks. Urban spaces have rhythm and tone. They are home to human agglomerations, the places where most of our species resides, where we generate the resources for our survival and where we project our deepest aspirations for a better life.

Mexico's youth are caught in a maelstrom of information overload, the erosion of social communities, an education system that fails to raise incomes, and a fading sense of what it means to be Mexican that goes beyond social prejudice. For several months I have been working with my team on a series of proposals to build the Mexico I love living in. Brilliant minds have joined me in developing proposals across different fields. The effort we have undertaken as a team...

Communities hold a legitimate aspiration to benefit from contextual social change as a pathway to prosperity. In his latest intellectual contribution, Zizek maps the blind spots of liberal visions on the question of order. Libertarians champion anarchy and self-regulation on one side; socialism insists on guiding and deciding for society on the other, positing order as a sine qua non for human progress...

PEMEX should transform itself into a global powerhouse of new energies, anchoring renewed regional leadership around a profitable, forward-looking mandate, but the path runs through a harder conversation about nuclear, solar, and the limits of market-led green transitions.

From CRISPR to telemedicine, emerging technology offers a real path to leapfrog traditional healthcare delivery for the world's most underserved populations. Time to reframe what public health can achieve.

I have always believed that without a clear guide, we are bound to proceed blindly. Codifying visions is essential to moving forward and building a lasting legacy.

Directing 'Mi ciudad hoy' reaffirmed that civilization is built with values, rights, and civic responsibility, not just with buildings. #Education #CDMX

Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease linked to insulin dysfunction. GLP-1 receptor agonists, already used in diabetes treatment, show real promise in slowing its progression.

Development banking, guided by clear missions, is vital for driving economic growth, filling financial gaps, and supporting key national projects in Mexico.

The Prosperity Atlas traces its origins to my appointment at Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where I redesigned the investment promotion system. Mexico's greatness rests on a millennial consensus that transcends generations: historically, our country has advanced when the public sphere has defended the proposition that true prosperity lies beyond the accumulation of material wealth, recognizing the foundational nature of common welfare and shared justice. Prosperity ult

The real challenge is to translate economic potential into shared prosperity. The idea of a prosperous nation is something anyone aspires to. Living in a free, secure, developed country with opportunity is almost an unconscious conception of how any country should work. The world offers no shortage of examples; none of them perfect models, of course, but references and success stories that have shown us, over the years, what countries with clear vision, planning, organization

The absence of accessible and affordable transport has allowed these regions to grow as independent silos. One month after winning the presidential election, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced a plan to build three passenger rail routes. The project includes corridors from Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) to Pachuca, Mexico City to San Luis Potosí-Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo, and Mexico City to Querétaro-Guadalajara.

The development of Mexico's rail network has the potential to transform both mobility and the country's economic and social trajectory. Social integration depends on how communities share values: as common understandings of lived experience emerge, a collective identity forms. The state plays a direct role in shaping which experiences Mexicans share, from institutions like the UNAM to the sense of belonging one feels standing in Mexico City's Zócalo. A new anchor for that soc

Japan, China, and Germany built national competitiveness on high-speed rail networks that compress distance, integrate economies, and deepen social cohesion. Mexico's New Rail Development Plan charts a comparable course: a modernized system connecting the country's northern, central, and southern corridors with the explicit aim of reducing regional inequality, attracting international partners, and redefining Mexico's infrastructure identity for the 21st century.

The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare the structural gaps in Mexico's healthcare system: fragmented coverage, weak community health infrastructure, and limited self-care capacity. In response, Scientika identified ten pillars capable of transforming the country's health experience. The analysis revealed that Mexico already holds the assets required to become a regional leader in public health policy. What is missing is coordination.

Mexico City's Zona de Hospitales already hosts 13 national high-specialty institutes and 53,000 specialists. In 2010, a bold initiative envisioned going further: a full Knowledge City, Campus Biometrópolis, co-developed with UNAM, the private sector, and Sam Pitroda, and designed by Foster + Partners. The project stalled, but its logic is more compelling than ever.

Mexico's energy sovereignty goals cannot be self-funded. The infrastructure gap is too large, and the pace of the global energy transition too fast, for public finance to close it alone. A disciplined investment attraction strategy, built around a specialised team that reduces information gaps and aligns investor economics with national priorities, is the missing variable between Mexico's resource endowment and its energy transition ambitions.
