Colombia’s western Coffee Region is renowned for the whiteness of its inhabitants, who are often described as respectable pioneer families who domesticated a wild frontier and planted coffee on the forested slopes of the Andes.

Aporte significativo que se destaca aquí, se refiere a los denominados "estatutos excepcionales" propios de los establecimientos de crédito y demás sociedades sometidas a la vigilancia de la actual Superintendencia Financiera, tema que fue él quien puso de relieve por primera vez en nuestro medio, y cuya importancia conceptual y práctica es evidente para cualquiera que tenga que trasegar con el funcionamiento de esa clase de empresarios.
