Maduro

Last month, I wrote an article about Venezuela’s business environment

La carta de María Corina a Guaido, así como el llamado de este útimo a una consulta popular no tiene, a mi juicio, fundamento racional alguno.

El peligroso y falso debate de las simplificaciones

Venezuela is constantly over the news given its unprecedented economic collapse. Yet, numerous people still think that the country’s economic hardships were caused by external factors, such as declining oil prices or financial sanctions from the international community. When in reality, the Venezuelan collapse is the direct consequence of the country’s inefficient, distorted, and hostile business environment.

There is a dramatic and worrying informational blackout in Venezuela. The regime censored all traditional media outlets. Social media has become more deception than information. And as if these problems were not enough, most Venezuelans don't even have internet access.

Since 2013, the Venezuelan economy has been in free fall. In just seven years, the country’s gross domestic product has lost nearly 70 percent of its value. This economic collapse represents the largest in the modern history of the western hemisphere.

Al Sr. Presidente Interino de la República de Venezuela, Ing. Juan Guaidó y ante la opinión pública del país deseo transmitir la siguiente declaración.

In developed nations people tend to discuss the political economy of their countries in the following way. When they think about capitalism, they associate it with economic freedom, and therefore, with higher opportunities to climb the socio-economic ladder.
