Reorganizing the Pluri-National State in Bolivia

Reorganizing the Pluri-National State in Bolivia
Alex Borda-Rodriguez, Dalhousie
Part 5

The importance of events like this is to educate people of the truth of the situation in Latin America.

The case: what is the difference in the government now, from the past governments of Bolivia.
The past Bolivian economy has been the production of tea and mining activities. in 1952 there was a revolution that changed the structure of the country. The mining corporation of Bolivia was the most important part of the economy, run by the elite of the country. In the 1980s a structural change happened that caused public land and rights to be sold to international companies. This NeoLiberal government did this without taking into account the links of it's government and corporations, so most of these changes were implemented by a small elite fraction of the Bolivian government. This dismantled the country, and it became an experimental ground for foreign powers, and the world bank.

In 2003 the Gas war, and black October 2004, the people defended the national land of Bolivia from the current president who tried to levy unfair income taxes on the people, while selling natural gas to Chile at an exceptionally reduced price.
This unrest made it possible for Evo Morales to be elected.

There is still disparages between areas, there are places in Bolivia like New York, high technology and large buildings ten minutes away from places with ancient technologies dieing in the streets.
