Tom Bethell explains his own and Hernando de Soto's conclusion that poor countries remain poor because of their lack of legal system and tradition that guards private property and (extremely important!) titles on it. The ability to transfer titles on the property is a "stairwell" to prosperity that transforms an "informal" economy operating outside of the legal system into the normal market economy.

Very Interesting!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.
