About Me

Hello, I am Miguel. Thank you for visiting my blog, which I own since 2003. The idea of publishing a blog about Bolivian politics began back in 2002 when I was beginning my economics studies. Back then the internet was as it was, and as such, it was difficult to find much information at all about Bolivia. The little information in English one could find through a yahoo search was incomplete and largely inacurate. That was frustrating, as you could imagine.

As soon as Blogger came out, I saw the opportunity to create a source of information for my own needs. It was, and still is, a great thing to be able to gather your own information about a subject you are interested and present it the way you want. That way, I have the info I need right at my fingertips. In addition, the little curating exercise has many pluses. One of them is that I was able to write a lot, which is a very productive thing to do. Another plus is the fact that the information is available for everyone in the internet. Thoughout the many years I have been blogging about Bolivia, there have been many people who have used the information they find in my blog for their own needs. At the same time, I have been able to benefit in many ways from this "exchange" as well. I could go on bragging about the benefits, but I think you get the idea.

The information you find here are mainly about Bolivia's social, economic and political developments. I have to add that the word social can include the occasional art or musical bits of information.

The usual post is written in relatively short peiods of time. This is due to the fact that I do this for personal reasons aside from my real job. The images I use are largely my own creation due to the increasing limitations arising from the international copy right restrictions.

You can use the information you find here, the only thing I ask is that you properly cite the blog as the source. I appreciate it, thank you in advance.
