Hernando de Soto is President of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy (ILD), headquartered in Peru and regarded by The Economist as the second most important think-tank in the world. He was recently named one of the five leading Latin American innovators of the century by Time. As Personal Representative and Principal Advisor to the President of Peru, he initiated that country's economic and political reforms. His previous book, The Other Path: The Economic Answer to Terrorism, was a bestseller throughout Latin America as well as in Washington, D.C.
"The hour of capitalism's greatest triumph" writes Hernando de Soto, "is, in the eyes of four-fifths of humanity, its hour of crisis." In The Mystery of Capital , the world-famous Peruvian economist takes up the question that, more than any other, is central to one of the most crucial problems the world faces today: Why do some countries succeed at capitalism while others fail? In strong opposition to the popular view that success is determined by cultural differences, de Soto finds that it actually has everything to do with the legal structure of property and property rights. Every developed nation in the world at one time went through the transformation from predominantly informal, extralegal ownership to a formal, unified legal property system. In the West we've forgotten that creating this system is what also allowed people everywhere to leverage property into wealth. This persuasive book revolutionizes our understanding of capital and points the way to a major transformation of the world economy.

评分这本书得到了一个令人振奋的结论,发展中国家的贫穷在于所有权法律不完善,穷人们的财产没有法律认可和保护,只要能从法律上认可穷人们的所有权和交易进行保护,穷人就能积极工作走上富裕道路。因为所有权有六种效应:确定资产的经济潜能,将分散的信息纳入一种制度,建立责任...
评分A clear explanation of the rise of the West and the Decline of the rest
评分反正不太喜欢,有白人为中心的感觉。
评分让我联想到了国内这么多的小产权房,以及酝酿多时的农地改革。
评分看过书再上课感觉就是不一样!以后也一定不能偷懒了。。。
评分感觉全书都在强调我们要端正态度,要把extralegal 拉进我们的法律体系。可能我肤浅,这大概不是一本方法论。
