Bio

I am a business student but I only work with FUN economics! Can economics be fun? Ohyes. Economics is the foundations of everything and the finest moments are when you convert someone who believes that economics is all about boring accounting, to someone who believes that economics is the greatest thing invented. Apart from preaching the fun side of economics, I also run a bunch of projects on my spare time. Some, you can read about on my blog www.borgefalk.com. From september 2009, I will start working as CEO of Filehill, a marketplace for digital goods. I also try to create better IT infrastructure in developing countries and am engaged in an information kiosk project in India. I also preach my coping strategy philosophy for the world we live in tday, called Managing Anything. This way of thinking helps young people (and possibly elder people too) to cope with the ever-changing, chaotic place that the world has turned into. Moreover, I compete in everything, especially essay competitions. I won the St. gallen Wings of Excellence Award in 2007 and was awarded Student of the Year in Sweden in 2008. Oh, I run a logotype design store on logotypia.se too, but just for fun.

I'm passionate about

File sharing, living and creating new things that make people happy. Oh, and things that improve people's lives.

An idea worth spreading

The future should be built upon sharing.

Areas of expertise
