The Collapse of Venezuela Scorched Earth Politics and Economic Decline, 2012-2020

The Collapse of Venezueladocuments Venezuela's economic implosion as politicians adopted strategies that severely harmed the economy in their struggle for power.
Between 2012 and 2020, Venezuela suffered the largest economic contraction ever documented outside of wartime. This collapse was caused not just by the failure of an economic model but also the deeper failure of its political system to manage the conflicts inherent to a polarized society.The Collapse of Venezuelaargues that when the stakes of power are high, politicians have an incentive to adopt political strategies that directly harm the economy. Author Francisco Rodríguez describes these scorched earth strategies and shows how politicians used these methods to target the Venezuelan economy in their fight for power. Ultimately, the conflicting sides have trapped the economy in a catastrophic stalemate that has destroyed the country's living standards and turned the economy into a political battlefield.
By charting Venezuela's experience with scorched earth politics, Rodríguez reveals an essential cautionary tale for other democracies around the globe.
