Venezuela was like a lot of those old Latin American countries - a small elite of super-rich families who basically stole the national resources. He's now driven a new economic order through, you've got for the first time healthcare for poor people, illiteracy has been eradicated.
And if you want to get an idea of why I don't like trickle-down economics: it's the peoples in places like Venezuela who have had to bear the cost of demonstrating the myth -those not in the ruling elites, that is.
I just hope the good Chavez and co do is not undone by the corruptions of power.
