Taking readers on an entertaining journey through economichistory, from the stone-age to the modern economy, Beinhockerexplores how "complexity economics" provides provocative insightson issues rangi

In The Mystery of Capital, the world-famous Peruvianeconomist takes up the question that, more than any other, iscentral to one of the most crucial problems the world faces today:Why do some countries succeed at capitalism while others fail?Instrong opposition to the popular view that success is determined bycultural differences, de Soto finds that it actually has everythingto do with the legal structure of property and property rights.Every developed nation in the world at one time went through thetransformation from predominantly informal, extralegal ownership toa formal, unified legal property system.
