The current blockades in Bolivia could be a banal conflict between a rich agricultural sector and a sensible food security policy… or it could mushroom into some kind of producers vs. socialists, or Santa Cruz vs. the MAS proxy battle. @CarwilBJ/1363891813405310979

There's plenty of room for the Santa Cruz agrarian elites to keep getting rich off agroexport (with lots of help from the MAS national government), but the domestic price controls ensure that high foreign commodity prices don't spill over into one of SAm's poorest countries.
