How did a country with the largest oil reserves in the world turn into an economic hell? Venezuela has gone down in history as one of the most severe peacetime economic collapses — without war or natural disasters, but with hyperinflation, hunger, and a mass exodus of its population. In this video, we break down in detail how the decisions of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro step by step destroyed the country’s economy, why currency controls became a machine of corruption, how nationalization and price controls wiped out production, why the money printer was turned on, and how money ultimately stopped performing its most basic function. We’ll examine where hundreds of billions of petrodollars disappeared, the role played by falling oil prices and sanctions, why a country swimming in oil was left without gasoline and electricity, and how an economic crisis turned into the collapse of the state itself. In the final section, we explore possible future scenarios for Venezuela and ask the key question: did this country have a chance to take a different path, or was this outcome inevitable under such an economic model?
