The appendix to this book contains pictures of various properties in Port-Au-Prince and their prices, as well as a map showing human settlement in that city. An excerpt from Fernand Braudel's The Wheels of Commerce provides this text's recurring metaphor of a certain part of the world as being a Bell Jar that is closed off from the rest of the world. The author of this treatise spent 289 days trying to register a business in his home country to argue that it and other nations should develop a system in which information is easily dispersed and assets are made fungible. This book argues that a system of titles, deeds and articles of incorporation backed by a legal infrastructure explains "why [the title economic system] triumphs in the West and fails everywhere else." For 10 points, name this book, a follow-up to The Other Path, which was authored by Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto.
