	Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada Bustamante (born July 1, 1930), familiarly known as "Goni", is a Bolivian politician.
		This extreme measure was used by Bolivia in 1985 (when Sánchez de Lozada was planning minister) to cut down on rampant hyperinflation caused by excessive government spending.
		This angered many Bolivians and propelled a populist uprising led by syndicalists Jaime Solares and Roberto De la Cruz, cocalero Evo Morales, and indigenous leader Felipe Quispe, fed by rumors that Bolivia would export gas to the USA and Mexico using Chilean ports, a country widely despised since the War of the Pacific.
