Big news in Bolivia, where Andrónico Rodríguez, president of the senate and VP of the six tropics coca growers federation, says he will be a candidate in August's election.

That means three will be going for the MAS vote: Arce, Morales and now Rodríguez.

Andrónico mueve el tablero electoral, acepta ser candidato

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed?

I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism
