Property rights theory flowed from academia through Peru to the World Bank and Egypt.

Evidence

The knowledge circuits unveiled in this chapter track the original academic production of property rights theory by MPS member Armen Alchian and his colleague Harold Demsetz to the policy program applied in Peru, as well as its international promotion by the World Bank and subsequent export to a number of countries including Egypt. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 164

• XREF: This academic-to-policy-to-export circuit directly exemplifies the network-formation causal chain the reader is studying. — connects to: Property rights theory simplified complex institutions to prepare New Institutional Economics — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin: The Making…, 1931; Lal saw World Bank aid as Western self-soothing rather than genuine assistance — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin: The Making…, 1776
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: Egypt was an early land-titling adopter — how did the program interact with Egyptian land politics?
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin: The Making…, 164
