In depth study of the "informal" economy of Peru, made necessary by the taxes and regulation that strangle economic initiative in that country. The author notes how difficult it is to open a legal business compliant with all regulations and shows how entrepreneurs set up shop without the benefit of formal recognition. Shows how they deal with issues in the context of extra-legal trade. The title is a response to the Maoist terrorist group in Peru called "the shining path." Foreword, Preface, Acknowledgments, Index. Published @ $10.95.
