About this listen

Host Alexandra Reeves examines Bolivia's 1980s "cocaine republic," where trafficker Roberto Suárez offered to pay the nation's debt. Unlike Mexico's violent drug wars, Bolivia built a corrupt but stable partnership between cartels and government. This explores how total corruption without bloodshed creates a more insidious threat to democracy than violent narco-states.
