His Institute for Liberty and Democracy (ILD) researches and implements reforms of legal property systems. Over the past 18 years the have moved hundreds of thousands of businesses and real estate holdings from the underground economy into the economy mainstream. http://lispmeister.com/blog/books/mystery-of-capital.html Quote-right
