The Collapse of Venezuela
Scorched Earth Politics and Economic Decline, 2012-2020
Book • 2025
This book documents Venezuela's unprecedented economic contraction, which was not only due to the failure of its economic model but also the breakdown of its political system.
It explores how politicians used 'scorched earth' strategies to target the economy in their struggle for power, leading to a catastrophic stalemate that severely impacted living standards.
The book serves as a cautionary tale for other democracies facing similar challenges.
