This academic year, the academic community chose a study by one of the most famous contemporary Peruvian economists Hernando de Soto as the book of the year.
In his work “The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else”, the author examines the question of what exactly is the mystery of capitalism, which promises a decent life for every member of society.
Why does capitalism thrive only in the West, as if separated by a glass wall?
Capital is the blood of the capitalist system, the cornerstone of progress, and the only thing that poor countries cannot produce for themselves, no matter how much their populations engage in activities characteristic of a capitalist economy.
Intellectual freshness and sharp polemical argumentation have brought this book, which has been translated into thirty languages, worldwide fame.
The publication is designed for a wide audience, including economists, sociologists, historians, lawyers, and translators who will be able to compare the peculiarities of translations of the work.
