about the question of why capitalism triumphs in the West and fails everywhere else。 Wele。
CHARLIE ROSE,記者,談話節目主持人:Hernando de Soto曾被成為第三世界最重要的經濟學家,他是市場經濟學和拉丁美洲貧困人口權利的領袖。在他的最新著作《資本的奧秘》裡他談到了為什麼資本主義在西方取得勝利而在世界其它地方遭到失敗的原因。歡迎。
HERNANDO DE SOTO: So the important thing about a capitalist system is that it's a system of representations。 Therefore it's a little bit like when I go to the United States。 People ask me for my identity; and I say: ";My identity is me。 I mean; look at my face。 I am Hernando de Soto。"; But the man at the ; ";Look; give me your passport。";
