It can be said in general that in recent years in Bolivia, two types of economic models have been implemented in some form. The first model is one that is high statist whose validity periods are separated into two phases: 1982-1985 and 2006-present. This period has had several denominations, but very similarities: statist- with its populist variant, nationalist model and, state capitalista Being precise, its génesis is already by the 1950s, specifically 1952, so the next stage of the 80's is not merely a reflection of the decline of that model. The second, is that very cióse to a market, which runs from 1985 to 2005 and that, symptomatically is the longest (20 years). This model at this point seems to be weakened, but from a political perspective, as there are doubts about its structural disintegration in relation to its economic application. The symptomatic, is that even though these two models have dominated the economic scene in recent years of Bolivian democracy in a clear way, the state has been the real protagonist.
