Purpose Statement

We believe that financial knowledge, in terms of knowledge, should be accessible to all. In an increasingly complex and unequal environment, our goal is to democratize economic and financial information, eliminating barriers to access and fostering a culture of transparency, collaboration and continuous learning.

As knowledge is a valuable resource that should be available to all, we offer our materials under an Open Access and Open Source model. This allows our users not only to consume information, but also to contribute, modify and share, thus fostering active and meaningful collaboration.

We believe that by providing accessible tools and resources, we can help our visitors make informed and strategic decisions that positively impact their lives and their economy. In fact, in the lives of anyone interested in these issues.

Mission

​Our mission is to build a rigorous, truthful, reliable and accessible source of practice-oriented information on financial and economic topics. With a firm commitment to develop high quality content that is understandable and highly useful for everyone, from beginners to experts.

Through education and outreach, we seek to foster a culture of responsible and conscious investment, where each individual has the ability to manage their resources effectively and sustainably, adopting an academic rather than a profit-driven approach.

Vision

Our vision is of a world where specialized financial and economic knowledge is accessible to all, without barriers or limitations, but also without losing its rigor. Through innovation and the use of technologies within everyone's reach, we want to transform the way knowledge is shared and consumed, thus contributing to a more equitable future for all.

We aspire to be a freely accessible, collaborative and consolidated reference on this type of topics, promoting a new way of participating in the markets: fairer, more open and more informed.
