The Other Path

Book • 1989
In *The Other Path*, Hernando de Soto explores the informal economy in Peru, highlighting how excessive bureaucracy hinders economic growth.

He argues for legal reforms that would allow informal sectors to become part of the formal economy, promoting prosperity and reducing inequality.

The book also serves as a counter to the violent strategies of groups like the Shining Path, offering an alternative path to economic development.
