Under the Fujimori government, De Soto's Institute for Liberty and Democracy wrote dozens of laws to promote property rights and bring people out of the informal economy and into the legitimate one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result was not only an economic boon for Peru but also the defeat of the Shining Path, the terrorist movement and black-market force that was then threatening to take over the Peruvian government. In a new preface, De Soto relates his work to the present moment, making the connection between the Shining Path in the 1980s and the Taliban today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850344812780,"sku":"9780465016105","price":86.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/15097183482353.jpg?v=1759083549"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/hernando-de-soto.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
