Notes

1. See for example his essay, “The Economic Transformation,” in James M. Malloy and Richard Thorn, eds., Beyond the Revolution: Bolivia Since 1952 (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1971), pp. 157–216.

2. Cf. Malloy's recent analysis, “Authoritarianism and Corporatism: The Case of Bolivia,” in Malloy, ed., Authoritarianism and Corporatism in Latin America (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1977). There Malloy describes Bolivia's class politics as a result of the interplay between external dependency and domestic patron-client relationships—two phenomena whose mutual relevance is too often wholly ignored.

4. A recent and welcome exception is: Guillermo Lora, A History of the Bolivian Labour Movement 1848–1971 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1977).
