Based on a wealth of interview material and original reportage, this book offers a unique bottom-up analysis of how ordinary Bolivians have responded to the changes that have taken place in their country since the rise of the MAS in 2006.

The book traces the twin processes of economic liberalization and political democratization in Bolivia since the 1980s, placing both in their historical context. In particular, it examines the institutional reforms of the early 1990s - praised by the World Bank and others - and considers their achievements and limitations.
