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

感觉全书都在强调我们要端正态度，要把extralegal 拉进我们的法律体系。可能我肤浅，这大概不是一本方法论。

它主要说明了清晰的产权界定，标准化的产权网络是经济发展的关键。我第一次把资本和资产分开来看，这个很有助于提高财商。结尾关于意象表述的哲学论断实在很吸引人，细想也很有道理。不过严重的怀疑人类在意象的道路上越走越远会不会最终消失？譬如忘了何为真实？好吧，其实我现在已经不知道何为真实了。

视角有启发。全球南方国家没有清晰的产权保护和法治，导致灰色经济的大量出现。Dead capital are invisible and couldn’t be turned into investment 本来可以用来发展的资本都被浪费了。可是 所有权改革又谈何容易呢？
