- Deadly Consequences: The International Monetary Fund and Bolivia's Black February The Democracy Center, April 2005
The report tells the story of Bolivia's Black February (2003), in which 34 people were killed during public uprisings against an IMF-forced economic belt-tightening package. It is not just the story of two tragic days in La Paz, but also of the global economic system that set that violence in motion.
"Deadly Consequences" is based on interviews with Bolivia's current President and senior government advisors, IMF officials, economists, Bolivian human rights leaders, eyewitnesses, and with the family of the victims. It also draws on dozens of original source documents and testimonies. The report is available for both free viewing and purchase in book form on The Democracy Center website
