In 1987 the ILD published a book based on its research and reform programs, under the title El Otro Sendero (“The Other Path”), subtitled “The Economic Answer to Terrorism.” Its authors were de Soto and two of his collaborators, Enrique Ghersi Silva, a lawyer-economist influenced by the Chicago law and economics movement (see Van Horn, Chapter 6 in this volume) and subsequently a member and director of the Mont Pèlerin Society, and Mario Ghibellini, a writer. De Soto's organization of the team that produced the book exemplified the role of the neoliberal intellectual entrepreneur. “My contribution was that of the businessman,” he explained. “I set my goals, identified my limitations, and obtained the resources to achieve the first and offset the second” (De Soto 1989, xxix).
