Pablo Macedo, noted Mexican lawyer and professor of political economy, was born in Mexico City on February 1, 1851. Macedo, a disciple of Gabino Barreda (1818-1881), taught political economy at the Escuela de Leyes (School of Law) and is the author of LA EVOLUCION MERCANTIL, COMMUNICACIONES Y OBRAS PUBLICAS, and TRES MONOGRAFIAS QUE DAN IDEA DE UNA PARTE DE LA EVOLUCION ECONOMICA DE MEXICO. His father may have been Mariano Macedo (died 1869), a minister in the government of General Mariano Arista. Pablo Macedo's letter, dated January 29, 1908, asserts that the family estate, the Hacienda de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, otherwise known as Los Reyes, was taken from his father by Governor Joaquin Martinez in 1867 "by evil means." It is likely that he and other members of his family collected these notarial, mining and other colonial documents in an effort to prove Mariano Macedo's title to this property. Pablo Macedo died in Spain on December 25, 1918.
