Article Abstract:

Developing countries and former Communist countries are often riddled with social and economic chaos, but what the Instituto Libertad y Democracia in Lima, Peru has found is that the large majority of citizens who are affected by this chaos are not greatly impoverished. They have greater assets than most of the West realizes, but they have no way to turn these assets into liquid capital.
