Yeap! I am an economist and I made an essay back in college called "The Biggest Curse Of Venezuela: OIL"Damn, only if nation could get all the oil and export it without government.
I might sound weird to some of you all but there´s no doubt in my mind if we havent discovered oil over 100 years ago we would be the most developed country in South America.
We have pretty much everything a country can only dream of. Just to name a few...
- Borderline perfect geographical location right in the middle of the world. We´re between North and South America and between the Pacific and Atlantic ocean, including the Caribbean sea.
- Large coast and many rivers capable of fishing pretty much everything (We export to the US)
- Last fields capable of producing dozen and dozen of primary products. We once exported many of these and even play bingo with beans! (we now import this)
- Amazing beaches and many outstanding natural attractions that can be used to explode our touristic potential.
- Unparalel commercial potential to scale all the above!
IT´S PEOPLE!
I have lost all trust in our politicians and I don´t see how we can turn this around without A)A civil war, B) International Interventions or C) Internal Government implosion.
