Cordeiro has been an advocate of sound monetary policy and dollarization in Eastern Europe and Latin America<ref>[https://www.atlasnetwork.org/news/article/why-ecuadors-economic-future-depends-on-retaining-dollarization Atlas Network: "Why Ecuador's Economic Future Depends on Retaining Dollarization"]</ref><ref>[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23745584_Full_Dollarization_Fad_or_Future Zeljko Bogetic: "Full Dollarization: Fad or Future?"]</ref>. His 1999 book ''La Segunda Muerte de Sucre'' provided academic backing for the change from the [[Special:MyLanguage/Ecuadorian sucre |sucre]] to the [[Special:MyLanguage/dollar|dollar]] as the currency in Ecuador, where he is regarded as one of the thought leaders of this transformation.<ref>[https://www.vistazo.com/seccion/pa%C3%ADs/%C2%BFqui%C3%A9nes-promovieron-la-dolarizaci%C3%B3n-en-ecuador Vistazo: "¿Quiénes promovieron la dolarización en Ecuador?"]</ref>

<!--T:30-->
In 2009, Cordeiro spoke at the European Futurists Conference in Lucerne about the concept of 'Singularity': "a not-too-distant moment when artificial intelligence overtakes the capabilities of the human mind - the point when we are going to merge with machines". As a teaching fellow of the [[Special:MyLanguage/Singularity University|Singularity University]], he added that "the purpose of Singularity University is to prepare humankind for this transformation".<ref>https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2009/11/news-1/</ref>

<!--T:31-->
Cordeiro coined the term 'Energularity' to refer to “the biggest change in the largest industry on our planet... the Energy industry’s shift from fossil fuels to solar, wind, geothermal or fusion”. He also coined the term "Benesuela" as a contrast to "Venezuela" in reference to the educational situation in that country.<ref>https://www.singularityweblog.com/jose-cordeiro-on-singularity-1-on-1-the-energularity-is-near/</ref>

In a set of forecasts about Latin America in 2030, Cordeiro and the [[Special:MyLanguage/The Millennium Project|Millennium Project]] highlighted two extreme scenarios: "God is Latin American" and "Disintegration in Hell".<ref>[http://107.22.164.43/millennium/RTD_LA2030/LatinAmerica2030DelphiSurveyLong.pdf 2010 State of the Future: "Future studies around the world"]</ref>

He advises audiences to “Forget flying cars and robot butlers… the future will be a far more interesting place”.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YKkcUcSpMU Talks at Google: "The Future of Technology and the Technology of the Future"]</ref>
