Venezuela in Crisis (Dany Bahar, Adrianna Pita, Harold Trinkunas, Brookings)

"Poverty, which was once the flagship of the Bolivarian revolution, is back to pre-Chavez levels. These policies were unsustainable – it was all based on subsidies based on the high price of oil, and now the government is maybe not unwilling, but definitely unable to protect the Venezuelan poor." - Dany Bahar
