Mauricio Rojas was born in Santiago, Chile. As an active socialist and member of MIR in his youth, he fled to Sweden in 1974 following the military coup and the subsequent persecution of leftist activists by the new Pinochet regime. After coming to Sweden as a refugee he changed his political views and became a proponent for liberalism.
Rojas received a Ph.D. in economic history from Lund University in 1986 and became Docent (Associate Professor) of Economic History at Lund University in 1995. Rojas was lecturer at Lund University from 1981 to 1999, when he became the Director of the Centre for Welfare Reform at the Stockholm-based think tank Timbro. Lately he was both Vice President and President of Timbro.
Rojas was elected as a Member of Parliament in 2002 for the Liberal Party, although he was not a party member at the time. He became a member of the Liberal People's Party in 2004 when he was appointed as the party's spokesperson on refugee and integration policy. In 2006 he initiated a second period in Parliament. He is member of the Constitutional Committee of the Swedish Parliament.
He has written several books in the field of international economics, immigration matters and on the Swedish model, many of them translated into several languages. Available in English are ''The Rise and Fall of the Swedish Model'' (London, 1998), ''Millennium Doom'' (London, 1999), ''Beyond the Welfare State'' (Stockholm, 2001) and ''The Sorrows of Carmencita: Argentina’s Crisis in a Historical Perspective'' (Stockholm, 2002). His latest published book is ''Reinventar el Estado del bienestar'' (Madrid, 2008). Provided by Wikipedia
