Regarding the role of young people, Laje has no doubt: "Today we are all journalists. With a cell phone, you can inform more and better than a traditional media outlet. The immediacy and authenticity of social networks have defeated the stiffness and editorial bureaucracy. That's why many libertarian influencers have more reach than professional journalists. Mariano Pérez may not be a journalist for TN, but he fulfills the journalistic function better than many."
But cultural advancement is not only happening in the digital realm. The Faro Foundation, driven by Laje, is already generating results. "We seek to organize and professionalize the cultural battle. We offer courses in political, economic, historical, and cultural training. There are ongoing investigations, books in production, and articles in development. It's a new but very promising project."
Finally, when asked about which books he recommends to young people who want to educate themselves, Laje suggests: "Of mine, the most accessible is 'Generación Idiota,' it has 300 pages and is accessible. And of those that marked me, without a doubt 'Sobre el poder' by Bertrand de Jouvenel. It's a tough but brilliant book. Hayek spoke of the road to serfdom; Jouvenel shows how that road began in the very cradle of modernity."
Today, Globalismo is sold not only in Argentina but also in Spain and throughout America, and Laje celebrates the interest sparked in a topic that, until recently, was ignored. "The great challenge was to arouse interest in something people didn't even know about. And it was worth it."
