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.

評分 評分读这本书,关不合法社会部门的描述及处理方法远比所有权制度更吸引我的注意力。 历史上为什么会发生革命?因为时代发展到某种程度,被排除到法律制度之外的不合法人物和组织越来越多,他们以自身的力量不断撞击着现行的法律制度,要求法律制度容纳并保护他们,如果统...
評分打开报纸电视,中国的经济形势永远一片大好。欧洲国家要靠北京拯救,台湾香港要靠大陆输血。各路所谓学者纷纷出书,称颂"中国模式",兜售"中国经验",庆祝"在党和政府的领导下",中国经济"从胜利走向辉煌"…… 但在我个人的日常生活中,看到的又是另一番景象。比如...
評分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...

评分理論很有養分,但太過理論,另外更像一本Manifesto,可讀性平平。
