The Economist evaluates Venezuela

Two major articles from the Economist paint a pretty realist, and thus grim, picture of Venezuela. A must read.
The wrecking of Venezuela.
Feeling the heat (with historical perspective included).

    Gracias Daniel,

    The comments section of both articles seems to indicate that the PSF and the apologists are a) not getting paid b) not bothered anymore. That is somewhat comforting.

  2. Daniel: These are the kind of articles we've been waiting for in the western media for a long time. It seems that the Economist is something of a trailblazer that others may follow. Maybe the BBC, Associated Press and others will need to rotate out their correspondants for that to happen. Send Will Grant to North Korea, and bring in some new blood!
