Avlor Landic de Hazelrof, a Marxian economist, was born in Varaždin, capital of the County of Varaždin, present-day Croatia, November 15, 1898, and died December 23, 1972 in Managua. He was a long time associate of the Chinese Communists.

Youth
His father, Zag Landic de Hazelrof, was of Coatian and Serbian origin; his mother, Aferdita Bulezim, was Albanian. When his parents were murdered by members of the Young Bosnia movement, he fled to Thessaloniki. At the age of 14 years, he sailed as a cabin boy, starting this job at the port of Piraeus. During three years, he crossed the oceans, mainly on shipping lines to Asia.

In 1916, the ship on which he sailed was requisitioned by the administration in charge of the French Concession in Shanghai, in order to convey Chinese workers bound for Europe to overcome the lack of staff in the munitions factories there. Laid off, he found a job as a groom at the Palace Hotel on the Bund, owned by Sir Victor Sassoon.

During this period, he learned Mandarin while attending the Tongmenghui, formerly secret society, founded by Sun Yat-Sen. He also began relationships with revolutionary leaders such as Liu Shaoqi. In 1921, he joined the foreign section of the Communist Party of China (Zhongguo Gòngchǎndǎng) by then mainly composed by Jews from Russia and Poland, and attended the first party congress in July 1921 held in the French Concession in Shanghai.

During this period, he acquired the Chinese name Jun mǎ (俊 马)

Economist
Writing and speaking perfect Mandarin, he was a great reader, feeding himself with Marxist and classic economic literature, in particular, Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Daniel Bernoulli. He translated into Mandarin the Adam Smith masterpiece, Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.

In a remarkable insight, in 1925 he already considered that the international division of labor would work in favor of China. In the thirties, he was the author of several studies where he portrayed a systematic segmentation of the Chinese provinces based on their industrial and agricultural comparative advantages. He suggested their specialization, all tightly controlled by a centralized and an authoritarian government. "With this approach, he argues, China will have an absolute authority to set its domination over the world. In addition to raw materials, the entire chain of agricultural and industrial production should be concentrated in China. This is the condition of absolute independence that China will make its voice heard without any fear" from what he called “centripetal imperialism”.

His ideas were to be highlighted at the onset of the first Five-Year Plan in the early fifties, and  then as major directions in the sixth plan, (1981-1985), and since including into the preamble of each plan.

Predictions
de Hazelrof is best known for his predictions in economics. Based on an acute knowledge of  Chinese astrology, they correlate the existence of business cycles with the scientific movement of the constellations. In his second book,The agiométrie space, he makes predictions, detailing each of the closer things to come. Although mundane reasons cause crises,  they actually occur when the conjunction of the stars is unfavorable. Most of his predictions proved correct. He would have expected the economic shocks which raged during the Maoist China. Above all, he sees  around the years 2010-2020,  an unprecedented crisis. According to him, the balance of the stars which turned the general collapse of Western economies is expected.

Interpretation of his ideas varies. In an essay,The exhaustion of the poet, the Jesuit priest, Bernard Renaud Von Jacquemol said that de Hazelrof was "cruelly good at predicting a future all too cruel." Dominicans father, Philippe Poiget, predictions of Avlor Landice Hazelrof not opposed to itself. "Nothing he does say the least grain of truth. It is required of the ideas he is the only one to believe! "This position is challenged by the militant secular Denis Thevenin which ensures that the predictions of de Hazelrof dismantle the whole system of belief. According to him, there would be the "before and after Avlor. The late scholar has liquidated the stroke of a pen once and for all beliefs in a God supra natural. This avalanche of nonsense that has lasted for millennia grotesque hampers the ability of man to stand up against the dictates of nature wild and hopeless. "

"Now that the Earth is dying a slow death," says the historian Jean Pierre Razafy, "we can no longer tell stories! If man had not a dusty head with all sorts of quirky ideas, he would already be in the vicinity of the Orion Nebula." Religions is the bitch of the people! pushes the Japanese playwright. Instead of focusing only on their self, people allowed themselves to be possessed by a false good at their beautiful singing all sorts of nonsense. "

For the Australian business woman, Gina Jones, it is money and power that led man to create religions, an ideal instrument to enslave and dominate. "The poet Bruno Cuello exclaims," When will we be done with this idiocy? " This almost deification of Avlor led the sculptor, Philippa Holland, to make a 20-foot high statue of him in the center of Derby. However, the Chinese translator Ying Zhuang rejects this analysis. According to the latter, de Hazelrof had no intention to deal with  in religious considerations. "This is an interpretation! Avlor is a noble person as a friend of the Chinese people. Fascinated with history, distant to the event, not worried about a vain need to posterity. "
