Hi Max,

As you suggested, I think it would be helpful to have a section on "structural weaknesses" before talking about the external causes, so that you have a clear progression from instability to collapse. I like that you include background information on Bolivia's economic geography, but you might consider connecting this information more directly to the economic crisis by explaining the contributions of Ecuador's rich-poor divide to the collapse, as well as describing its role in the aftermath. For example, you could talk about how the crisis affected different regions and different social classes.

I think the chronological structure is a good idea, since the crisis is an event with a before, during and after. However, as I started mentioning above, I think you could also do more to enrich your causes and results sections. You might consider effects of the crisis on Latin America as a region, or think about including a section on US/foreign involvement, if there was any. You could also research the effects of the economic crisis on culture. Did the crisis have an effect on the art and music produced by Ecuadoran artists, or on Ecuadoran literature? Also, beyond the broader picture, what were the effects on people's everyday lives?Dlevinson1 (talk) 19:56, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I would expand the bullet points to paragraphs or completed thoughts, I think a who did what and why explanation would give the bullet points more overall relevance.

I think you really need to expand the outcomes paragraphs in order to connect it to various other phenomena at the time.

Futher, I think the combined bank crisis portion could be expanded. What banks? Why was it a crisis? What did they do to cause these crisis

Perhaps a photo or two from the time of something extraordinary and perhaps an intellectual surprise for the reader, perhaps, how did this effect quality of life issues, or political involvement — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dennis.l.white (talk • contribs) 12:56, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
