By Richard Branson - One of the things I am most thankful for in life is the chance to meet with and learn from all sorts of people from all walks of life. One of these fortunate opportunities arose recently when Hernando De Soto, the renowned Peruvian economist, spoke on Necker Island.
That latter assertion is based on the theories and real-world examples presented by Peruvian economist Hernando De Soto, who is known for his work on the informal economy and the importance of business and property rights.
El economista Hernando de Soto recordó el episodio que vivió durante el autogolpe de Estado anunciado por el entonces presidente Alberto Fujimori, el 5 de abril de 1992. Hoy se cumplen 24 años de este suceso que atentó contra la democracia y él se sumó al recuerdo colectivo en esta fecha.
For historic clarification. Fujimori and Montesinos took a victory that wasn’t theirs. Hernando de Soto, president of the ILD, highlights the leading role of thousands of brave farmers. This ends the myth of the Fujimori victory.
Aclaración histórica. Fujimori y Montesinos tomaron una victoria que no era suya. El presidente del ILD, Hernando de Soto, destaca el protagonismo de miles de valientes campesinos. Esto acaba finalmente con el mito de un fujimorismo vencedor.
Confrontacional como siempre, el economista Hernando de Soto afirma que los tiempos de vacas flacas en la economía mundial seguirán hasta que los políticos no sinceren el estado real de las grandes entidades financieras.
El Nacional / En 1763 los inmigrantes en las colonias norteamericanas tenían derechos de propiedad más seguros que los que tiene un venezolano actualmente en el siglo XXI. Los derechos de propiedad en Estados Unidos fueron "constituidos, asegurados y fuera del alcance de la opresión de los más poderosos" incluso antes de la independencia norteamericana. El concepto de derechos de propiedad corre en la sangre de Estados Unidos, alimentando su sistema de mercado y ayuda al país a prosperar.
Hernando de Soto, ILD’s founder, affirmed that they have received more than 44 requests from reform-minded governments from all over the world seeking to learn from Peru’s positive experience on protecting property rights. Peru’s policy reform, in fact, put Peru ahead of countries like Canada, the UK, and Japan on the Registering Property Indicator of the 2016 Doing Business report.
We will connect aspirant entrepreneurs to microfinance and loans. Home ownership for the poor will be facilitated.

National borders are a contentious topic in electoral politics, with arguments over who should be allowed inside or excluded from a given jurisdiction. An even more pressing problem in most of the world, however, is the widespread lack of clearly defined property rights that allow people to live and work securely, argues Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto, president of Atlas Network partner Instituto Libertad y Democracia (ILD), in a recent commentary for Fortune.
De Soto empieza por plantear que “para mostrar que no tiene un prejuicio anti-americano, el Papa debería asumir la causa de todas las personas que no tienen los documentos necesarios para vivir, trabajar y hacer contratos en un lugar determinado”.
The famous Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto has written an public letter to Pope Francis, suggesting that the pontiff tell Donald Trump that the world needs more walls, not fewer walls, if we are truly going to help the world’s poor.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, the renowned Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto said that both Pope Francis and Donald Trump suffer from an excessively Eurocentric worldview, leading them to see solutions to social ills in terms of walls and bridges, when what is really needed is a “paradigm change.
