Ignacio Ramonet comments on the recent uprising against neoliberalism in Bolivia. He concludes "Bolivians have had enough.... The export of Bolivia’s ... silver, tin and oil did nothing to help the poor and never allowed Bolivia to modernise. Just as the Ecuadorians rose against Jamil Mahuad in January 2000, the Peruvians against Alberto Fujimori in November 2000, and the Argentinians against Fernando de La Rua in December 2001, the Bolivians, in overthrowing Sanchez de Losada, are rejecting an economic model that has fed corruption, driven millions of people into poverty, and increased social exclusion all over Latin America."
