I can't wrap my head around this grammar.

""However, I believe this to be a very shortsighted view""

I can't wrap my head around this grammar. What does "this to be" in the sentence above mean?

Could anyone explain to me, please?

Many verbs in English are followed by infinitives. In this case, "believe" is being followed by an object ("this") and an infinitive ("to be").
