This book explains why Venezuela is so rich in natural resources -
it has been producing oil since 1922 and harbors the largest oil
reserves in the world - and yet it is also a failed nation of
class-divided citizens exhibiting deep poverty in a corrupt,
incompetent state. Venezuela is a bipolar nation, where two marked
poles in the society exist which have historical origins and are
mutually exclusive. The book provides an overview of Venezuela's
history, economy and politics and explains the context and
implications of the bipolar poles, known as the elite pole and the
resentful pole. Both, it shows, have done serious harm to
Venezuela’s prosperity. The author describes the vicious circle
of oil wealth, corruption, inefficiency and world market dependency
and gives recommendations for a better future.
