Subtitled, "The History & Policies Of The Chavez Government". Examines Chavez's role in the changing governance of the country. 'A fascinating study - deeply informed, penetrating in its analysis,' Noam Chomsky
Synopsis
Exposes the self-serving logic behind much middle-class opposition to Venezuela's elected leader, and explains the real reason for their alarm. This work argues that the Chavez government has instituted one of the progressive constitutions, but warns that they have yet to overcome the dangerous spectres of the country's past.
