Katharina Pistor provides a rigorous examination of how legal institutions and private contracts function as the hidden architecture of global wealth accumulation. By analyzing the 'coding' of assets, the author reveals how legal strategies transform ordinary property into capital, thereby entrenching systemic economic inequality.
