Críticas:

"Some books are good, some are bad, but very few are real gems. One of the few gems is the recently published book, The Mystery of Capital."--Thomas Sowell "In his smart new book, The Mystery of Capital, de Soto answers the question why capitalism succeeds in the West and fails in so many other places."--Thomas Friedman, New York Times "If a nonmathematician can win a Nobel Prize in Economics, I nominate de Soto."--Lawrence Minard, Forbes Global "The Mystery of Capital makes a powerful case...An important book."--Washington Post Book World "The most intelligent book yet written about the current challenge of establishing capitalism in the developing world."--Economist "The blueprint for a new industrial revolution."--The Times (London)

Reseña del editor:

"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 also what allowed people everywhere to leverage property into wealth. This persuasive book will revolutionize our understanding of capital and point the way to a major transformation of the world economy.
