I always get a kick out of the reader reviews at Amazon.com--always sort by lowest rating first. Here's my favorite of De Soto's book: ""The Mystery of Capital:Why Capitalism Trumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else," by Hernando De Soto. is a crock of... [he]argues the point, "The missing ingredient for success with capitalism is ASSET MANAGEMENT. Get real...asset mamagement is only one of the many needed ingredients to trumph like the West! Hello!!! " Interestingly, even though the book is a "crock of..." it still gets two stars! Can you imagine the book that gets one star? BTW, the person who called De Soto's book an "intellectual swindle" gave it three stars. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
