#234 - Alberto Fujimori, 1938-2024

Elo returns to the podcast to give his thoughts about Alberto Fujimori, Peru’s former dictator President. He was Bukele before there was Bukele, Milei before there was Milei, even Chavez before there was Chavez. His rise and fall tells us so much about the history of Latin American geopolitics – and points to a melancholic not-so-shining path forward.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(01:14) - Who was Fujimori(09:37) – Japan and Peru(14:12) – The Rise of Fujimori(28:33) – Vladimiro Montesinos(35:45) – Post-Fujimori(40:06)- Fujimori Legacy(49:45) – Thank you but you’re a f’ing dictator.--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapCI Site: cognitive.investmentsSubscribe to the Newsletter: bit.ly/weekly-sitrep--Cognitive Investments is an investment advisory firm, founded in 2019 that provides clients with a nuanced array of financial planning, investment advisory and wealth management services.
