Hugo Chávez Frias won, promising a return to the prosperity of Venezuela's golden era. But the reality that followed was far from the dream.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOver the next two decades, Venezuela transformed dramatically--politically, economically, and ideologically. Once one of Latin America's most stable democracies, it became a nation teetering on the brink of collapse. How did a country on the path to first-world status fall so far? Was it Chávez alone, his government, and his failed policies--or were the seeds of disaster planted long before his rise?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book traces the pivotal events, policies, and attitudes that enabled Chávez's leadership to become entrenched, despite growing protests, hypocrisy, and failure. Readers will witness how a single vote reshaped a nation, and how rights once taken for granted were slowly eroded while most citizens remained asleep.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA concise, compelling exploration of Venezuela's rise, fall, and the lessons to be learned from a democracy's unraveling, this book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the forces behind one of Latin America's most dramatic transformations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49968066920721,"sku":"CIN1592111343G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1592111343.jpg?v=1772035233","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/how-progressivism-destroyed-venezuela-book-elizabeth-rogliani-9781592111343","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
