Neither Mexico nor faith appear in the index of Soto's The Other Path, yet both managed to be baked into the conclusion (p. 233f), except they're not in any context that I'd find useful. Ha! Bummer.
Anyway, the book was pretty interesting, and it does have relevance in Mexico, but we didn't explore red tape and informals that much during our stay, so I have no concrete idea to what extent. I can use his conclusion that governments should get out of the way unless they're doing something useful. I guess I'm going semi-capitalist for now. :) (I still think Acts-like communism is the ideal, but probably also the hardest to hold up for the world for now.)
