Property ideology
In sociology, the ideology of property describes a meaningful context of justification and legitimation that ascribes private property a necessity for the general functioning of society . In some cases, such a context of justification can also reproduce explanatory models that correspond to the prevailing world views and value orientations. In all cases, however, the chosen contexts of argumentation aim at showing legitimate reasons for the creation of property and deriving its general social benefit .
The Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto , who is close to property economics, advocates the thesis that one of the main causes of poverty in developing countries is inadequate property security. In contrast, the historically developed infrastructure for documentation of property put through land registers , cadastral , trade register, etc. is a safety for the development in the Western industrialized countries.
