Bolivia fact of the day

One of the most surprising developments is the way that Bolivia has amassed foreign currency, salting away a rainy-day fund of about $14 billion, equal to more than half of its gross domestic product, or 17 months of imports, that can help it get through economic hard times.

According to the monetary fund, Bolivia has the highest ratio in the world of international reserves to the size of its economy, having recently surpassed China in that regard.

There is more here.  What do you recommend as good to read on the economy of Bolivia?  Please let me know in the comments.  I am going there in late August.
