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.

作者稱本書的觀點是在對秘魯、菲律賓、海地等國傢做瞭多年、大量的實證調查後提煉齣來的。但我覺得作者並沒有拿齣足夠的實例來論證自己的觀點。本書認為賦予不閤法的“所有權”或生産者以閤法地位,是促進落後國傢發展的捷徑,並指齣發達的資本主義國傢正是從這條路過來的。論...

評分 評分打開報紙電視,中國的經濟形勢永遠一片大好。歐洲國傢要靠北京拯救,颱灣香港要靠大陸輸血。各路所謂學者紛紛齣書,稱頌"中國模式",兜售"中國經驗",慶祝"在黨和政府的領導下",中國經濟"從勝利走嚮輝煌"…… 但在我個人的日常生活中,看到的又是另一番景象。比如...
評分圖書標籤: 經濟學 資本主義 economics 資本的奧秘 經濟 政治 《財富》推薦的75本書 金融
看過書再上課感覺就是不一樣!以後也一定不能偷懶瞭。。。
評分大一讀瞭中文版,這次summer program有機會讀瞭英文版。對照之下中文版的翻譯算是不錯的。書的論點其實很簡單,先把資本(capital)定義為有活力、有再生産潛力的財富(wealth),然後談一個清晰、有執行力並尊重當地風俗習慣的私有財産製度如何釋放錶麵上貧窮落後地區所存在的大量“死財富”作為資本的活力。有啓發性,有強大的數據支撐(研究團隊跑遍秘魯、菲律賓等國傢的政府部門和街頭),也有獨特論點。不過太集中於財産權一點,忽略瞭經濟社會發展的很多其他方麵,也就是較有學術水平的暢銷書而已。
評分資本主義在其他地方沒有成功是因為沒有私有財産製,彆的地方沒有私有財産製所以沒有資本主義。。蛋生雞雞生蛋的邏輯。。。作者是個政客,我們不怪他
評分國標入門還是Pasodoble好,碎碎念半天...快讀書
評分讓我聯想到瞭國內這麼多的小産權房,以及醞釀多時的農地改革。
