Bolivia, with an annual per-capita income of only $550, the second lowest in the hemisphere after Haiti, s an economic mess. The output of wheat and cotton is running below the levels of he 1970s. Further, production of such minerals as tin, lead, gold, silver and zinc las been devastated by miners' strikes, and only one of the state-owned mining group's 14 largest mines makes a profit. The inflation...
