Memories and Comments on the Founding of Universidad Francisco Marroquín and its Antecedents
Manuel F. Ayau Cordón, founder and first president of Universidad Francisco Marroquín, shares with us in this account the vision that inspired the UFM founders to create an institution different from those that already existed. Driven by a desire to understand and eliminate poverty in Guatemala, they embarked on a deep exploration of its causes and sought the path to prosperity. Inspired by the Austrian School of Economics and supported by influential figures and organizations, both national and international, they decided to establish the university. Their mission was to teach and disseminate the ethical, legal, and economic principles of a society of free and responsible persons, with the goal of shaping leaders who would apply these principles to create a more prosperous future. The author recounts the story behind the founding of UFM.
