Fox is considered one of the world’s most important voices on contemporary political and business issues. When elected president of Mexico in 2000, he became the first president in 70 years to be elected from a political party other than the previous ruling party.
During his six-year tenure, Fox played a vital role in Mexico’s democratization and strengthened the country’s economy. He was able to control run-away inflation and interest rates, as well as achieve the lowest unemployment rate in Latin America.
