The Mystery of Capital
Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else
Hernando de Soto
This book explores why certain countries thrive while others fail at capitalism. Contrary to popular belief that cultural differences are the reason, the author argues that it all comes down to a legal structure of property and property rights. Through this thought-provoking examination, readers will gain a new perspective on capital and the potential for transforming the world economy.
