Diego Armando Maradona, without being a producer, nor registered as an importer or exporter, became the top operator of the most sought-after merchandise by men and women.
On October 30, 1960, the creator of a commodity whose value is incalculable was born. The world began to look at Diego Maradona from the very beginning; he was an art dealer who exhibited wonders of his production in the local market.
The Old World called him and the universe exponentially demanded his products. Thus, Diego Maradona became the greatest producer and exporter of art of Argentine origin.
But without realizing it, the more art that artist produced, the more he generated that fundamental fruit whose value surpasses all the gold in the world, the one that every person needs and searches for, in many cases without finding it, throughout his life.
The balance between the export of his art and the import of that product that he manufactured without realizing it, was beginning to tip in favor of imports.
On June 22, 1986, in a special art production in Mexico City, which some consider should be included among the 7 wonders of the world, the balance between exports and imports was finally tipped and Argentina climbed to first place in the ranking of countries importing that product that the merchant did not realize he was creating with his art.
Seven days later, on June 29, 1986, he realized that the creation of his unique and wonderful art produced what humanity most coveted. Argentina was overwhelmed, unable to control the flow of imported merchandise that was coming in from Mexico with force; it was forced to share its products with other countries and exported a large part of it.
Since that date, due to the art of that merchant, Argentina has the highest level of production and export of the basic human impulse, the happiness.
Thank you to whom, by exhibiting his art, gave to each person in Argentina, the region and the world that positive emotional state: the most tangible of intangible goods, the most valuable good.
Thank you, Diego Armando Maradona, for producing high levels of happiness.
