	Commanding Heights : Hernando de Soto \| on PBS
		HERNANDO DE SOTO: The difference between being in the U.S. and being in Peru is that a very small number of people in the U.S. are concerned with development for the very simple reason they're already developed, while development is what we're all about in the Third World.
		HERNANDO DE SOTO: Capitalism of course is in trouble, because as usual it is only catching on among the top 20, 10 percent of the population of Latin American countries that have got their property rights paperized in a way that they can enter the market.
		HERNANDO DE SOTO: There's a message in my book which is the result of the research and the conclusions my colleagues and I came to as a result of very practical empirical experience in many developing countries throughout the world.

		De Soto would initially be written of as a great explorer but, would be later viewed as a destroyer of native culture; however, in truth de Soto was neither a hero or a villain but, in reality a man of his era and place of birth.
		De Soto lingered in the land of the Apalachee for five months spending the winter because of the abundance of food in spite of the constant guerrilla warfare the Indians utilized (Varner & Varner 176-184).
		De Soto never found the great wealth he was seeking and his expedition was a failure; however, the written accounts of the expedition provide clues about the numerous peoples encountered and their cultures.

	Capital and Property Rights - Mises Institute
		Hernando de Soto, president of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy in Lima, Peru, and author of the acclaimed The Other Path (1990)—in which he investigates the "informal sector" of Peru’s economy—has taken a different approach in his new book, The Mystery of Capital.
		According to de Soto, the poor of Third-World countries are not victims of rapacious capitalism, but rather are wronged by the lack of property rights and with outright bureaucratic barriers that prevent the poor from gaining access to capital.
		Obviously, de Soto directly contradicts the claim made by leftists that the seemingly intractable poverty that characterizes so much of the world’s population is caused by capitalism both in the West and the Third World.

	Hernando De Soto Biography
		When the renowned Hernando De Soto, who had been in close attendance on Pizarro throughout his romantic career in Peru, asked for and obtained permission from Ferdinand of Spain to take possession of Florida in his name, hundreds of volunteers of every rank flocked to his standard.
		Intending to take possession of Mavilla in his usual high-handed manner, De Soto and a few of his men entered the palisades forming its defences, accompanied by the cacique, who, meek enough until he was within reach of his warriors, then turned upon his guests with some insulting speech and disappeared in a neighboring house.
		To De Soto, however, it was no geographical phenomenon, inviting him to trace its course and solve the secret of its origin, but a sheet of water, "half a league over," impeding his progress, and his first care was to obtain boats to get to the other side.

		De Soto fundamentally argues that the reason poor countries are poor is because they have bad property rights: it's incredibly difficult for poor people (specifically, recent urban migrants) to get legal title to their land.
