Commodity policies in Bolivia

Pages 14-20 | Published online: 02 Apr 2009
 

Abstract

Mining has historically been the backbone of the Bolivian economy. However, the present crisis in the world economy and structural changes in many metals consuming industries have led to a dramatic decline for the Bolivian mining industry, and thus for the national economy.

In this article Theo Mutter gives a background to the crisis in Bolivian mining and argues for the necessity of a radical departure from the present resource-based economy.
