Alberto was born in Caracas in 1998 to an American Mother and a Venezuelan Father. He spent a few of my childhood years in the US before returning to Venezuela, and quickly became interested in understanding why the two countries were so different and yet so similar. As he grew older, he was also concerned at the deepening political, social and economic crisis that was gripping Venezuela and hoped to be able to understand it to formulate solutions. Currently, he continues to study the issue of Venezuela and political economy as a whole to contribute to the growing literature relating game theory, economics and politics.
