Lost in Legalandia - novel by Prof. Dr. Behar-Villegas
Prof. Dr. Erick Behar-Villegas, Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration at Berlin International, was recently invited to RCN, a renowned Colombian news agency, to speak about his novel "Lost in Legalandia" and about the current political context in Colombia.
He discussed the problem of wasteful government spending using the example of high-end SUVs in Latin America, which represents rent seeking practices and a topic that moreover requires further research.
In 2021, Prof. Dr. Erick Behar-Villegas published Perdido en Legalandia (Lost in Legalandia), a novel about legalism in a world that parallels that of Latin America, whereby startup founders and innovators are crushed by a legal system of absurdities.

About Lost in Legalandia
In 2021, Prof. Dr. Erick Behar-Villegas published his first novel, Perdido en Legalandia, a story of legalism in a Latin America-like world that complicates the lives of startups and innovators with absurd laws.
"Legalandia tries to tell us a little bit about why there are some problems we haven't been able to solve that seem strange but are urgent."
The story has Juan as its protagonist, who is interested in business, mainly coffee, but in developing his business he encounters countless obstacles. Therefore, Juan has to overcome all kinds of inconveniences due to the bureaucracy that, in a way, prevents his business from growing for all kinds of reasons, including signatures or simple system failure.
