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.
这本书的论点很有现实性,论点也很新颖。但是书中阐述的基本上是论点,或许是出于可读性的考虑。书中提到的很多数据,并不知道数据是如何得到如何统计出来的,这方面能在最后附出来就更好了。 书中最大的论点在于:资本主义制度之所以在西方国家可以成功而在其...
评分德•累托在《资本的秘密》讲述了发展中国家之所以贫困寥落,最主要原因是这些国家相比富裕国家,未能形成正式所有权制度。没有正式所有权制度的保护,使得大量“资产”游离于“资本”之外,无法成为创造财富的源泉。 那么,发展中国家为什么大量资产会僵死?这些僵死的资产...
评分这本书拖拖拉拉读了一个多月。其实书写得挺好,文笔通畅清晰、观点鲜明、结构严谨。读得慢主要是因为我这阵子心思野了、再就是书中间的几章写得有点拖沓、枯燥、缺乏实证村料。 这本书早就买了放在书架上,当初只是因为书名,以为这是本在马克思的传统下继续演绎马克思主义观...
看过书再上课感觉就是不一样!以后也一定不能偷懒了。。。
评分大一读了中文版,这次summer program有机会读了英文版。对照之下中文版的翻译算是不错的。书的论点其实很简单,先把资本(capital)定义为有活力、有再生产潜力的财富(wealth),然后谈一个清晰、有执行力并尊重当地风俗习惯的私有财产制度如何释放表面上贫穷落后地区所存在的大量“死财富”作为资本的活力。有启发性,有强大的数据支撑(研究团队跑遍秘鲁、菲律宾等国家的政府部门和街头),也有独特论点。不过太集中于财产权一点,忽略了经济社会发展的很多其他方面,也就是较有学术水平的畅销书而已。
