	History of Ecuador - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mahuad concluded a well-received peace with Peru on October 26, 1998, but increasing economic, fiscal, and financial difficulties drove his popularity steadily lower.
		However, the coup de grace for Mahuad's administration was Mahuad's decision to make the indigenous currency, the sucre (named after a Venezuelan hero of the revolutionary war against Spain), obsolete and replace it with the U.S. dollar (a policy called dollarization).
		On January 15, 2003, retired Colonel Lucio Gutiérrez, a member of the military junta that overthrew president Jamil Mahuad in 2000, assumed the presidency of Ecuador.

		Mahuad, who is currently a Fellow at the Center for Public Leadership, examined two approaches to communicating information.
		During the discussion that followed Mahuad's presentation one of the participants raised the issue of how not all problems can be solved, and how, on occasion, a person must be a messenger of a problem that has no solution-such as informing a person that he or she has a terminal disease.
		In this case, said Mahuad, it is important to deliver the news quickly and to separate oneself from the content of the message.

	The coup in Ecuador: a grim warning
		Mahuad's proposal to dollarize the economy, scrapping the sucre, the national currency, in favor of US greenbacks, sparked widespread opposition and mass protests that ended in the military overthrow.
		Mahuad insists that the coup was rooted in the military's resentments over cuts in arms spending, a refusal to provide officers with a larger salary hike than civilian state employees, and a 1998 peace treaty signed with Peru.
		What both the abortive coup attempt and the reports of dictatorial plans within the Mahuad government reveal is that the traditional structures of civilian, parliamentary rule have become so weakened and corrupted that they are incapable of containing the immense social conflicts generated by the economic crisis.
