GLOBAL MARKET, A 056110
The ebb and flow of industrial and political power explain much of the man-made landscape. There is nothing fair about the geographical rou- lette that gives some parts of the world rich oil deposits, and others none. Environmental experts are concerned about the effect of burning fossil fuels on the global climate, while economists worry about when oil supplies will run out. Bolivia, rich in metal ores, is, paradoxic- ally, the poorest country in Latin America. Here tin, lead, and silver mines eke out a living, while for others, the coca used lawfully by the miners becomes the "green gold" of the illicit cocaine trade - though satellite images of coca fields are the weapons of law enforce- ment agencies.
