This book is about property, informality and institutions relevant to both the developed and the developing world. The author introduces a new analytical tool, Reality Check Analysis, based on theory and practice, and offers a solution to the long-standing problem of informality and to the systematic frustration with the issue.
A fascinating book worth reading by all students, practitioners, and socially responsible investors. Through a lively narrative based on personal experiences, it highlights the catalytic impact of institutions, most notably of property rights, on the functioning of markets and on development.

[This] book shows the importance of local knowledge and of a deep understanding of the institutional prerequisites for a successful market economy based on collateralisable wealth (especially real estate).
