Boston, the consulting group and Oscar - part I

NOTE I: As announced on my last blog, this entry will be long. To have a clear idea of the whole story, at least two entries will be necessary.

NOTE II: This series of entries will only explain the items that appear on the title. 

Between 2009 and 2010 I lived in Nicaragua to collect data for a research study. While in Nicaragua, my social isolation led me to start writing this blog. Three years later, I took a sabbatical leave to continue writing my thesis. This leave is about to end, my thesis is not finalized, but that is another story…

The original idea I had for my thesis evolved and now, it focuses on the obligation of the State in supporting the wellbeing of its citizen, and if anyone wants to talk about wellbeing this years, one has to talk about the financial crisis, and so did I.

In the introduction, my thesis deals with the global crisis and it quotes a report by the US government which lists the crimes and mistakes committed by banks and that eventually lead to the financial crisis. The Bank of America is one of these banks. 

The first time I got acquainted with Boston was in 1988 when my uncle Manuel was invited by the firm he worked for to spend a year at the headquarters there, so my cousins, my uncle and my aunt Lola moved there. 

Now, the coincidence arises: My oldest cousin, the son of Manuel and Lola, moved back to Boston some years ago, and now, he works for the Bank of America.

This entry is now long enough, the story will continue in the next one.
