John Searle's The Construction of Social Reality and Hernando de Soto's The Mystery of Capital shifted the focus of current thought on capital and economic development to the cultural and conceptual ideas that underpin market economies and that are taken for granted in developed nations.

This collection of essays assembles 21 philosophers, economists, and political scientists to help readers understand these exciting new theories.
