Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else
by Hernando De Soto
Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2003 by Basic Books
ISBN-13: 978-0-465-01615-0, ISBN: 0-465-01615-4

"It's become clear by now the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of communism in most places around the globe hasn't ushered in an unequivocal flowering of capitalism in the developing and postcommunist world. Western thinkers have blamed this on everything from these countries' lack of sellable assets to their inherently non-entrepreneurial "mindset." In this book, the renowned Peruvian economist and adviser to presidents an ..."

It is exactly these forces, de Soto argues, that prevent houses, land, and machines f ..."

""People with nothing to lose are trapped in the grubby basement of the pre-capitalist world." This is the nub of The Mystery of Capital. Read just that one sentence and you catch a glimpse of the reason why, as the author puts it, four-fifths of humanity lack the ability to turn dead assets into live capital. A great deal of the power of legal property comes from the accountability it creates, argues Hernando de Soto, from the constrain ..."

How do we create economic and social conditions in third-world countries that will prevent terrorist organizations and ideas from taking root? How do we give ordinary people in these countries better alternatives than supporting drug lords or terrorists? In The Other Path, Hernando de Soto describes how he and his organization, ..."
