Hypothesis: they don't do that mass titling because of costs
Suggestion: use blockchain solutions to let settlers make claims publically without possible government meddling (like bribes), then work out the "claims conflict" the old, expansive way or through some international arbitraging.
Bonus: this could externalize the costs to NGO and charities, unlock large amounts of capital, while getting a new and better land registry started. Existing titles could later be converted to the new system. After that, people could trade their property with fewer paperwork - improving the capital markets.
- mattrp 7y agoYou may be interested to know the author of that book is also a huge advocate for blockchain. I hate to keep pumping the book/author but it’s really good. Google “commanding heights and Hernando de Soto” that was a pbs series produced many years ago but his segment is still really good. In fact if you look for his talks on YouTube they are all fascinating - could listen to them for hours.
