MHS POLITICAL STUDIES – Impact/Legacy of a Leader – Silvio Berlusconi
Born on September 29th, 1936, raised in the middle-class surroundings of Milan, Silvio Berlusconi began his business career at an early age. ... High-school did not interrupt Berlusconi’s money making schemes – he began to “ghost write” homework for other students, and charged fees on a sliding scale – highly graded papers attracted a rate depending on the grade, whilst less successful papers were free. ... Berlusconi refused the position but managed to secure a loan from that same bank to finance a construction firm he was opening by the name of Edilnord. This was the beginning of Berlusconi’s huge rise to business, success and in 1969; he built an entire suburb north of Milan, which he subsequently named Milano 2. ...
From 1974 to 1991, Berlusconi diversified his business holdings immensely:

Berlusconi felt the Italian population needed a new, right wing - reformist party and leader. ...
Berlusconi used his advertising agency to mount an American-style election campaign, and at the same time – two months before the March 24, 1994 elections – Berlusconi announced his candidacy.
