Abstract
In 2000 the Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto wrote his world famous book “The mystery of
capital. Why capitalism triumphs in the West and fails everywhere else”. A book that influenced
many policymakers throughout the world. This research focusses on the consequences of de Soto
based policies on a micro level, a squatter settlement in the Peruvian capital Lima, called La Nueva
Rinconada.
Central question of this thesis is: What is the influence of the implementation of Hernando de Soto’s
theory by the Peruvian urban politics in the nineties on the land property conflict in La Nueva
Rinconada?
