During his presentation, Mr. Salinas said that good public policy design is crucial for developing economies. He also noted the importance of cultural change and a revolution in education to promote future generations.

With fun culinary analogies, Jacques Rogozinski shares his views and experiences as an official of international financial organizations, and recommends not following recipes prepared elsewhere. Instead, he says that countries should find their own economic seasoning.

Ricardo Salinas said that the "recipe should nourish the development of productive sectors, competition and equal opportunities through education. Wealth does not occur by decree, but requires a favorable growth environment for companies and the development of entrepreneurs to increase the well-being of society."
