| Sumario: | This book examines the socio-political and economic landscape of Venezuela, focusing on the rise and implications of Chavismo. It explores the mass migration of Venezuelans, the historical evolution of the country's economy from agriculture to oil dependency, and the political instability characterized by frequent coups and constitutional changes. The author seeks to analyze the successes and failures of the socialist policies under Hugo Chávez and subsequent leaders. Aimed at understanding the broader lessons for workers across Latin America, the book delves into Venezuela's complex history and its impact on the present, focusing on the oil industry's nationalization and the creation of PDVSA. It also discusses the unique bourgeoisie class that emerged as a result of the state's control over oil resources. The intended audience includes scholars, students, and readers interested in Latin American politics and economics.
