The Mystery of Capital
Book • 2000
Hernando de Soto's "The Mystery of Capital" examines the crucial role of property rights in economic development.
He argues that the lack of formal property rights in many developing countries prevents individuals from using their assets as collateral for loans or investments, hindering economic growth.
De Soto highlights how informal economies operate outside the formal legal system, limiting access to credit and capital.
The book proposes solutions to formalize property rights, unlocking the potential of these assets and fostering economic development.
This work has significantly influenced discussions on property rights, poverty, and economic development in developing nations.
