    Historian :The Hugo Chavez show

    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    The fact is Chavez has done some good in terms of social and basic needs. The problem is he is not creating wealth and that makes it unsustainable. By driving out all the capitalists in the some major industries it is going make it harder in the long run. No government have the capital and the expertise to run some of those businesses, and can take all those risks.

    Look at Cuba, I admire their healthcare and education system but their investment in major industries like sugar and others have been run down and made them inefficient. If you notice now the Cuban governement is encouraging more and more free enterprise as they are laying offf over 1 million people.

    When government give away government lands, are they giving people titles and also demanding the land be use productively? If not it will not develop into much as people will not create wealth this way, just squatting on government land.

    Lula in his first term was a disaster but he later realise the need for robost growth and business and paid attention to the importance of economics, something I have not seen from Chavez. Too many rash decisions.

      Chavez social programs will be his legacy something venezuela never had and as for not creating wealth, they have a new class of millionares in venezuela that seems to be the main problem with the old class.Chavez is smart enough to create that wedge lets not forget the growing middle class while he isnt perfect he is no fool and he has positioned his nation to take off with brazil and china not the usa.China is a viable alternative for their oil.

        These are Oligarchies who are choosen by the government and if they
        fail to follow them they are given the boot. If you notice China welcome investment from most major coporation and do it in partnership with them, that is the way to go. In general government companies are ineffiecient and are not adaptable to business condition so in the long run it will not last. Venuzula is not using the Chinese or Brazillian model, don't fool yourself.

          Who said that? You need to stay focused ! Chavez is using his model , what he believes suits him.Havent I pointed out whom his biggest critics are ?

          You need to know how to differentiate alinging ones self/system/government from copying it.

          You would be silly in thinking the chinese dont do the same , pick and choose whom does business in china for the governments interest.

          The Big difference is , Venezuala is still a democracy .

            Democracy really don't have much to do with economics. You can be a democracy and make the wrong choices. China is not democracy but they have injected a good economic policy which has worked with a mix of capitalism and socialism. Socialism without proper economic principles will always fail. In its raw form socialism is general economically ineffecient.

              Democracy or any system of government has everything to do with economics.Any system of government in its raw form will fail.Besides that I agree with everything else :-)

                Democracy have nothing to do with economy. You are either capitalist, socialist or Communist or a mix in between.

                Democracy is a tool that allow the people some balance and to have a say but it doesn't have anything to do with economics.
