Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on May 26, 1939)

Happy Birthday Alejandro Foxley! Another year, another milestone—you've clearly mastered economics if you keep turning inflation into wisdom. From steering Chilean diplomacy as Foreign Minister to leading the Christian Democrat Party with intellect and charm, you've certainly perfected the art of making complexity look easy.

Your impressive collection of over a dozen books on economics proves your relentless passion for pointing out democracy's faulty mechanisms—yet somehow you're still smiling. Perhaps economic forecasts might fluctuate, but one prediction never fails: you'll always bring wit and insight wherever life's adventures take you next! Here's wishing endless success—and many more humorous observations ahead.
