The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else
Autor Hernando De Sotoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iul 2003
A
renowned
economist's
classic
book
on
capitalism
in
the
developing
world,
showing
how
property
rights
are
the
key
to
overcoming
poverty
"The
hour
of
capitalism's
greatest
triumph,"
writes
Hernando
de
Soto,
"is,
in
the
eyes
of
four-fifths
of
humanity,
its
hour
of
crisis."
InThe
Mystery
of
Capital,
the
world-famous
Peruvian
economist
takes
up
one
of
the
most
pressing
questions
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
extralegal
property
arrangements,
such
as
squatting
on
large
estates,
to
a
formal,
unified
legal
property
system.
In
the
West
we've
forgotten
that
creating
this
system
is
what
allowed
people
everywhere
to
leverage
property
into
wealth.
This
persuasive
book
revolutionized
our
understanding
of
capital
and
points
the
way
to
a
major
transformation
of
the
world
economy.
