Pedro Capmany was a Nouvelle Alexandrien economist, most importantly known for establishing and leading the think tank Dopino for over 20 years, and his early support for the creation of the New Alexandrian écu, the national currency. He is also renowned for his erudite contributions to economic theory.
Biography
Early Life
Capmany was born in Parap, the capital of Wechua Nation, around the time of the Unification of Wechua Nation. As a child, he witnessed the growth of the capital under the House of Inti, and as a youngster, was involved in the Wechua Spring, and the subsequent Wechua Sorrow. He became a vocal supporter of Manco Cápac during the The Great Restoration. After the second Wechua kingdom was re-established, he pursued his undergraduate studies in Economics and Philosophy at the Royal University of Parap, followed by a Ph.D in Economic Theory.
Career
Capmany's academic career took a decisive turn when he joined the Wechua Institute of Economic Studies in Parap in 1675 AN. There, he became deeply involved in the intellectual movement that sought to redefine economic systems through a blend of classical liberalism and regional cooperation.
During the early talks about the unification of Alduria-Wechua, Capmany was involved at the side of Wechua, renown for his expertise on monetary policy and economics. While he was not involved in the final drafting of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, Capmany was in favour of the new Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie that was established.
Capmany began collaborating with Guillermo Aparicio in 1685 AN, advising the new Federal Constituent Assembly on matters of the New Prosperity Plan. His work on monetary sovereignty and the historical role of currency in fostering cultural and economic unity laid the groundwork for his later advocacy of a new National Currency.
Capmany co-founded the Dopino Organisation in 1688 AN, a think tank dedicated to promoting economic integration and innovation within the Federation. His leadership in the organisation amplified his influence, and he became a vocal proponent of the écu as a symbol of economic independence and stability for the Federation. The currency, officially adopted in 1685 AN through the National Economy Act, is widely regarded as one of his most enduring legacies.
Capmany served as Director of Dopino between 1688 AN and 1710 AN, during which time he elevated the organisation as one of the most influential advisory think tanks to the Cortes Federales on the fields of economic theory, monetary policy, and finance. From 1699 AN to 1722 AN he also served as a professor emeritus at the University of Cárdenas, where he mentored a new generation of economists. As Director, and even after during his retirement, he frequently contributed to international economic conferences and was a sought-after advisor for governments and financial institutions.
Later Life and Death
Capmany retired from public life in 1722 AN, and became known as an avid writer of economics textbooks for the University of Cárdenas and Royal University of Parap. He died, after a long death bed, from lung cancer in 1729 AN. He was honoured by Dopino through the annual 'Capmany Award' for economic studies.
