A tale of two civilizations in the era of Facebook and blockchain
Five billion people in the world do not have the kind of ledgers that provide the documented information that allows them to transfer, partition, and aggregate assets and talents in such a way that they can be scaled up, secure investment, guarantee credit, certify reputation, and capture abstract surplus value. The difficulty that most people have in making combinations is a major cause of global inequality and unnecessary poverty
The other path: The Economic Answer to Terrorism
"The Fight Against Terrorism is not military. In the long term it is also - perhaps even primarily - economic. How do we create economic and social conditions in third-world countries that will prevent terrorist organizations and ideas from taking root? How do we give ordinary people in these countries better alternatives than supporting drug lords or terrorists? In The Other Path, Hernando de Soto describes how he and his organization, the Insti…
Law and Property Outside the West: A Few New Ideas about Fighting Poverty
In recent years, developing countries have carried out the macro-economic policy changes recommended by the West: they have balanced their budgets, cut subsidies, welcomed foreign investments and dropped their trade barriers.

When that question is put to the poor, their answer, insists de Soto, is a no-brainer. De Soto furt…
The Spirit of Capitalism
Dead Capital and the Poor
This article argues that capitalism has failed to deliver its benefits to the poor in developing countries because most of their assets are dead capital. Dead capital is property that is informally held and thus cannot be readily converted into capital. Hernando de Soto, author of The Mystery of Capital, explains that the potential value of dead capital in developing and former communist nations is at least $9.3 trillion. De Soto argues that the …
