!Lo que hemos perdido por no imitar a los mejores!
Lo que el mono ve, el mono hace
Alfredo González Holmann, Diriamba
1948. c.e.: agh@ibw.com.ni
c.e.: agh2@me.com
Este nicaragüense —que emerge de la
provincia, Diriamba, uno de los pueblos
que conforman La Manquesa, tierra de
cafetaleros y comerciantes— ha dejado
estimación y recuerdos en su ciudad
natal, en las aulas de educación básica,
universitaria y de postgrado, pues fue
lasallista, estudiante de universidades
mexicanas y norteamericanas e
incaísta; realizó estudios de Agronomía
Zootecnista, Contaduría Pública y
obtuvo una maestría en Administración
de Empresas.
,
$$%#
y
González Holmann ha sabido aplicar
con éxito sus conocimientos a la práctica
de su quehacer cotidiano: administración
de negocios y empresas productivas,
promoción hotelera y turística, labor
docente, pero, particularmente, ha sabido
resolver los problemas de nuestra cultura
que nos obligan más a estériles esfuerzos
que generan las contradicciones que a
retos constructivos.

Hombre estudioso, constante lector,
padre y maestro permanente de tres
hijos profesionales, Alfredo González
Holmann ha sabido superar las
limitaciones del exilio, en los años 80,
y sin ser político es un profesional de
éxito.
En estos días de efervescencia política,
cuando muchos candidatos ofrecen los
encantos de la tierra prometida: salud,
educación, trabajo bien remunerado
y el lucero que rutila sobre el mar —
como el Güegüence al Gobernador
Tastuanes—, Alfredo González nos
presenta su libro ¡La gran pregunta!,
que es una verdadera tesis del porqué
de nuestra pobreza: análisis de nuestra
realidad, visión de nuestras raíces
históricas; qué debemos olvidar o
dejar de hacer, qué debemos imitar
o proponernos para terminar con la
pobreza.
¡La gran pregunta!, de Alfredo González
Holmann, fruto de la reflexión, el análisis
documentado y visión de desarrollo, es
también una propuesta oportuna, más
allá de las pretensiones proselitistas e
intensiones partidarias que los políticos
y quienes dirigen la educación deben
conocer y promover su debate entre la
juventud para vencer, realmente, al gran
opresor de Nicaragua y de nuestros
pueblos hispanohablantes, que ostenta
nombre y género femeninos: la Pobreza.
Francisco Arellano Oviedo
" !¡La gran pregunta!
Muchos nicaragüenses, como tantos latinoamericanos, son pobres y
desdichados, pero no entienden las causas que los mantienen en esa
situación. Alfredo González Holmann sabe las respuestas y las explica con
toda claridad. Este libro debería ser una lectura obligatoria para todos los
latinoamericanos. Es excelente.
Carlos Alberto Montaner, escritor e historiador, uno de los columnistas
más influyentes de Iberoamérica.
Siempre quise leer una obra que explicase con argumentos sólidos, basados en fuentes confiables, la pobreza crónica de los países latinoamericanos, y creo que en este libro encontré la respuesta que buscaba. En
estilo ameno y directo y sin mucha palabrería, expone el autor su tesis,
que todo el problema del subdesarrollo depende del juego de valores
culturales, ineficientes y obsoletos, que hemos adoptado. Se trata de
un material que podríamos llamar “chips” mentales, que en parte nos
inyectaron nuestros mayores con sus costumbres y actitudes y en parte,
fruto de nuestra propia experiencia.
Emilio Álvarez Montalván, médico oftalmólogo, excanciller de la
República de Nicaragua y autor del libro Cultura política nicaragüense.
Después de leer este ensayo, yo lo recomendaría a las autoridades del
Ministerio de Educación Pública para que este libro sea de discusión y
lectura obligatoria para todos los alumnos de quinto año de secundaria de
Nicaragua, se le haría un inmenso e invaluable bien a la nación.
Francisco Arellano, secretario de la Academia
Nicaragüense de la Lengua.
Latinoamérica ha carecido de grandes ideas creadoras que se conviertan
en contribuciones indiscutibles para la humanidad. Este ensayo, vierte luz
acerca del porqué de esta sequía intelectual. Este es uno de los ensayos
más provocativos e informados sobre las razones de nuestro atraso
socioeconómico. El autor demuestra una cautivadora habilidad para
incursionar en los más variados campos del conocimiento... Se trata de un
repaso de nuestra historia en todas las épocas, comparándola con la de las
naciones ahora desarrolladas. González Holmann va más allá de la simple
descripción de acontecimientos... Muy al estilo agudo de Pablo A. Cuadra.
Jorge A. Huete, Ph.D en Biología Molecular y catedrático
de la Universidad Centroamericana.
