Episode 21: What happened to Venezuela?

We explore the history that produced the current political situation in Venezuela that is often ignored in the mainstream media. Danny discusses the role of oil, austerity, political elites, and Hugo Chavez. We contrast the history of Venezuela with other oil-rich governments by examining race, colonialism, and labor.  Enjoy.
