I'm increasingly interested in the events going on in Venezuela. I just came across this interesting article (Why Chavez wins) on Foreign Policy. I haven't checked the official numbers mentioned in the article, but it looks pretty serious. It seems that the fight against poverty in the country is not working as well as Chavez pretends.This other interesting resource (La Macroeconomía del populismo: una vez más, in Spanish) disentangles the main characteristics of the macro and micro policies pursued by Chavez and how they resemble to old mistakes being done in the past in the region.
I promise to report more documents on this country.
