De Soto concluded that countries could grow more quickly if governments encouraged rather than suppressed entrepreneurial resources. In his best-selling book, The Other Path, he urged poor countries to refocus their development policies. This 'other path' entails improving the business climate by reducing bureaucratic barriers to free enterprise, spreading private ownership, developing and enforcing legal safeguards for property, income, and wealth, and developing infrastructure that facilitates business activity.
