POLICY CONTEXT (cont.)
Without succeeding onlegal and political
fronts, no nation can overcome the legal
apartheid between those who can create capital
and those who cannot. Without formal property, no
matter how many assets they accumulate or how
hard they work, most people will not be able to
prosper in a capitalist society. They will
continue to remain beyond the radar of
policy-makers, out of reach of official records
and thus economically invisible.
Hernando de Soto (the Mystery of Capital, p167)
