El Fondo de Cultura Económica, también conocido como FCE, o simplemente “el Fondo”, es un grupo editorial en lengua española, asentado en México, con presencia en toda Hispanoamérica. Desde su fundación, el Fondo ha publicado más de 10,000 obras, de las cuales cerca de 5,000 se mantienen en circulación, y cuenta con un catálogo electrónico de más de 2,000 títulos. La historia del Fondo de Cultura Económica comienza en 1934 gracias al genio y la inventiva de Daniel Cosío Villegas. Su formación como historiador, sociólogo, ensayista y economista, hizo que la vocación primera de esta casa editorial se centrara en publicar exclusivamente textos de economía destinados a los estudiantes de educación superior. No es sino hasta 1943 que el Fondo de Cultura Económica inicia sus publicaciones en otras áreas de estudios, tales como aquellas relacionadas con filosofía. Bajo la dirección de José Gaos y el impulso de Eugenio Ímaz, aparecen “Filosofía de la Ilustración” de Ernst Cassirer, y, “De Leibniz a Goethe” de Wilhelm Dilthey. El crecimiento de la popularidad de esta editorial permitió que el 2 de enero de 1945 se inaugurara en Buenos Aires, Argentina, la primera filial del Fondo de Cultura Económica, bajo la dirección de Arnaldo Orfila Reynal, quien posteriormente se convertiría en director general de la editorial. Además, gracias a las publicaciones de la colección “Tierra Firme” el prestigio del Fondo se aumenta considerablemente. En el período entre finales de los años cuarenta y el inicio de los años sesenta se consolidan diversos proyectos editoriales: aparecen los primeros Breviarios, títulos de “Vida y pensamiento de México”, la colección “Popular” y la emblemática “Letras Mexicanas”, y se inaugura su primera librería, hoy llamada Daniel Cosío Villegas. Actualmente, el Fondo de Cultura Económica tiene presencia en Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Perú, España y Estados Unidos. Próximamente, se abrirán librerías en Cuba y Bolivia. En su nueva etapa, iniciada en 2019, el Fondo de Cultura Económica dio un giro para modificar la política editorial con el objetivo fundamental de incentivar el acercamiento a sus lectores a partir de una significativa reducción de precios y de la ampliación de nuestra oferta editorial. En su página web también se pueden encontrar un amplio catálogo de lecturas electrónicas, lecturas gratuitas, adelantos de sus próximas publicaciones y mucha más información relevante para los amantes de la lectura.

Born on outskirts of Belgrade – Serbia in family of 4. Immigrated to South Africa in 1991 “running away” from civil war. Even though that I came to South Africa without papers, money, job or being able to speak English, I made this beautiful country my home. My career took me from being a waiter in the restaurant (my first job here) to Restaurant Manager, Sales Manager in Timeshare Company to MD and CEO of ZA Galvanizing. At the end of the August this year I left my last position of Regional Sales Manager of EXIM International. When it comes to business, I am dedicated, punctual, loyal and organized with the skill set that made me achieve any task in front of me with the high rate of success. Privately, I am nature and animal lover, a bit of the environmentalist and lifelong naturist.

I was born in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, but raised in Jozini, Kwa-Zulu Natal and a Diver at heart. School Holidays were spent on the beach and in the ocean at Sodwana Bay. My Passion for acting started at a young age when I was approached by my arts teacher to play the lead as “Joseph” in that year’s school play, “Joseph and his technicolor dream coat”. In 2006, I moved to Saldanha bay Naval Base to conduct my basic training and upon completion, reported to Simon’s Town Naval Base Diving Centre. I worked at the Naval Diving Centre until mid- 2007, but reported for duty aboard SAS Spioenkop (Naval Warship) later that year and for the rest of my stay in the SA Navy. I resigned from the SA Navy at the end of 2009 to further pursue my childhood passion for acting, after it had been re-ignited back in 2007, when a Production Company came to shoot the one part series, “Diver’s Down”, at the Naval Diving Base where I was stationed. Since then, I performed numerous small roles in Films and TV Shows with goals and aspirations to become a successful actor in the industry. Years later and struggling in the industry, I started a Photography business in 2017 shooting headshots for actors in the industry and also specializing in Real Estate Photography. I also worked in the hospitality industry during this time, working my way up to head of staff at a fine dining Italian Restaurant in the Bellville area of Cape Town. In December 2018 I made the very hard decision to hang up my Actor’s hat and retire from the industry as I needed to make a change. So with a fire in my belly and a pursuit of a new career, I embarked on an old passion within the boating world. I completed my Yacht Master Coastal and SAS Day Skipper certificate followed by a plane ticket to Nice, France. I spent a month walking countless amounts of steps that would make “Discovery Vitality” proud on the docks of the various harbors, handing out my CV in an attempt to book work as crew on board. With a few days worth of day work under the belt and finally booking an interview for a possible crew position, my visa expired, and I needed to come home. Luckily, I was being strongly considered for a position aboard, but I needed to wait for the boat to come out of the drydock. With this, I flew back to SA with a hopeful heart, knowing that I would soon return to France. As things go, the opportunity was cancelled (Owner preferred a merger of the two available roles, and he preferred a female). What to do now? Unemployed and with depleted finances of not being able to return, I started looking for work and was unemployed until Sept the same year when I finally got an opportunity to begin work as a Junior Site Supervisor for a Construction Business (not ideal, but hey challenge accepted and gotta pay dem bills son!). I have since then worked for the same company, building weigh bridges, expanding warehouses, pouring concrete floors and laying paving. I have learned so much and have grown allot since then. Recently I approached and dusted off my photography equipment again and am in the process of starting this up as well. Being in the construction industry has sparked allot of ideas and have given me a new passion for real estate, especially as an Investor. People tend to describe me as ambitious, hardworking, punctual and goal-oriented. I have high attention to detail and work really well in both a team environment and on my own. I am pro-active, a problem solver and creative at heart. I won’t stop until the project or task is completed. More personally, I enjoy the outdoors, love being fit and healthy and spending my off time with my most valuable assets; family and friends. Short term goals: – To learn and grow the new skills required to perform given tasks efficiently and with excellence. -To prove myself a valuable asset, as a hardworking, dependable and trustworthy individual to my fellow colleagues, managers and seniors. Long term goals: -To become one of the best in my department and be seen as the go-to guy for a specific job or task. -To become manager and coach to younger generations looking to enter my industry. -To eventually run a team of managers, teaching them to effectively run their teams with excellence. I believe in serving others with excellence. The effort you put in will reap the results you desire. I also believe that being truthful, respectful and trustworthy are very important keys to success and I strive to live by these principles daily.

I am passionate about my work. Because I love what I do, I have a steady source of motivation that drives me to do my best. In my last job, this passion led me to challenge myself daily and learn new skills that helped me to do better work. I am ambitious and driven. I thrive on challenges and constantly set goals for myself, so I have something to strive toward. I’m not comfortable settling, and I’m always looking for an opportunity to do better and achieve greatness. I am an excellent communicator. I pride myself on making sure people have the right information because it drives better results. Most business issues stem from poor communication, so I feel a responsibility to keep everyone on the same page. I am results-oriented, constantly checking in with the goal to determine how close or how far away we are and what it will take to make it happen. I find this pressure inspiring and a great motivator for the rest of the team. I am highly organized. I always take notes, and I use a series of tools to help myself stay on top of deadlines. I like to keep a clean workspace and create a logical filing method, so I’m always able to find what I need. I find this increases efficiency and helps the rest of the team stay on track, too. I’m a people-person. I love meeting new people and learning about their lives and their backgrounds. I can almost always find common ground with strangers, and I like making people feel comfortable in my presence.
