<A gem of a book < Actually, I just read this book about a month ago. Very good, but, VERY dense material. de Soto takes an interesting view of what "capital" is. His most interesting point is that in undeveloped countries capital is primarily in the form of land and that there aren't the internal structures to be able to turn this type of capital into investment capital. A very good book, but, only about 20-30 pages at a time...
