Background

Daniel Lacalle Fernández, born in Madrid in 1967, launched dlacalle.com as a personal platform to publish opinion columns, video commentary, and book excerpts. Trained in business administration at the Universidad de Madrid and holding a PhD in Economics from the Universidad Católica de Valencia, Lacalle built a career in energy companies (Repsol, Enagás) and asset management before becoming Chief Economist at Tressis and a professor at IE Business School. The site has grown into a multilingual outlet (Spanish and English) covering macroeconomics, monetary policy, and energy markets from a firm free-market, Austrian-school perspective. Lacalle is a regular contributor to the Mises Institute and The Epoch Times, and has appeared on CNBC, Bloomberg TV, and the BBC. He ran on the Partido Popular slate in Spain's April 2019 general election, and is widely described as a 'conservative liberal' in the classical European sense. His editorial line consistently criticizes central bank intervention, deficit spending, and state regulation. He has praised Trump's deregulatory and spending-cut agenda since January 2025, calling Trump's return 'good news for the economy and international relations.' The blog carries no formal editorial board; all content reflects Lacalle's individual views.
