In this conversation, he recalls his academic and professional career, including the time he spent at the University of Berkeley, California, surrounded by great names who made history in statistics and economics - among them, John Nash Jr. and John Harsanyi. Aloisio also talks a little about his contribution to topics such as the Central Limit Theorem, in addition to talking about general equilibrium, fiscal fragility and dominance.
