Consider it a tribute.)<br /><br />As for Hernando de Soto, here's <A HREF="http://www.blogger.com/r?http%3A%2F%2Fslate.msn.com%2Fid%2F2112792%2F">another view</A> of the Peruvian sage in last week's Slate. "On the ground, it turns out that de Soto's ideas are doing very little to solve the actual problems of poor people."<br /><br />- Adam IsacsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583054.post-1107379789365342702005-02-02T16:29:00.000-05:002005-02-02T16:29:00.000-05:00There is a rhino in your living room (the Drug War...There is a rhino in your living room (the Drug War).<br /><br />BTW DeSoto shows why communist regimes are no better than the oligarchs when it comes to land reform.<br /><br />The oligarchs don't want it and the communists want it as a collective. <br /><br />Bush gets it. Hence his "ownership society" initiatives. If you want to understand what that is about get down with DeSoto - a Peruvian BTW.M.
