Property Rights Disparity

Felipe discusses the stark contrast in property rights across the globe, highlighting that while countries like the U.S. boast scores of 95, the average worldwide score plummets to 43. This disparity means that in many regions, majority shareholders can act with impunity, often influenced by bribery and favoritism, making the legal protections we take for granted in developed nations far from universal. The implications for Internet finance and blockchain technology are profound, as they may offer stronger protections than traditional legal frameworks in these lower-scoring countries.
