“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.

It’s pretty basic: successful nations and corporations have the power to create their own rules when, and especially when not, to apply the principles of capitalism in their favour. And to enforce their rules onto weaker nations by the barrel of the gun.
A level playing field has only ever existed in Adam Smith’s wet dreams.

why? because cultures matter. and culture is downstream from genetics.

This book was published in 2000, back when everyone was convincing themselves that ‘history was over’ and that things were actually going well.
One year later everyone discovered how skin-deep all of that ’success’ was. In reality, the 90s was a mirage of rich people saying “this is fantastic” and a lot of other rich people agreeing and writing it down. Of course, a lot of people knew the truth at that time, but you were either not published or labelled as some sort of cooky hippy.
The real mystery is why this book is still being published in 2023. We know now that the ’success’ in the West is - at best - a lie. We also know, that any success was caused by the West exploiting the rest of the world, it’s a parasitic relationship.
This book should be used for one purpose only: researching and understanding just how bonkers some people were in the 90s. This is evidence in a greater trend. Do not take its argument seriously.

Capitalism fails absolutely everywhere. Worse is that it stops any competing system from emerging. Thatcher said, “There is no alternative” (TINA) and the corporate media ran with this lie and brainwashed the whole of the humanity into believing it. Good thing that the truth is coming out and more and more people can see through the disinformation.

There were alternative systems. Their comprehensive failure was genocidal; characterised by famine & human catastrophe, as we know. There is no such thing as “pure” capitalism - it has never existed - anywhere. What we have are mixed, regulated economies. There is a tendency towards expansion & contraction. This system, as practiced throughout the West, is flexible & operates greater success than any other system. People vote with their feet on this. China had to abandon failed ideological economics & embrace something like our system.
In order for it to function at its optimum for the citizenry, it ought to be accompanied by liberal democratic institutions; a balanced constitutional government; the rule of law, & the fundamental human rights-based legal order. Without these essentials, oppression will always be oppression.
