Bolivian Troops Seize Key Smelter

Haven't I read about this somewhere before?

The Bolivian government has seized control of the country's largest, privately-run tin smelter complex.

Signing a decree nationalising the Vinto complex, President Evo Morales said there were no immediate plans to pay compensation to the site's owners.

More than 200 Bolivian soldiers were sent to occupy the complex, run by Swiss company Glencore.

Bolivian GDP - composition by sector: [Source - CIA]
Agriculture: 12.8%
Industry: 36.1%
Services: 51.2% (2006 est.)

When most of that Industry number, and commensurate quarter of the service number, disappears -- what then, Morales?
