Gerade zufällig entdeckt:
Die Selbstentlarvung schlechthin: Ökonomist und Nobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglit : Bericht aus 2007 wo er das Wirtschaftssystem von Venezuela lobt.
https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/2719
Bezeichnend auch folgender Satz: " Eine hohe Inflation ist nicht notwendigerweise schädlich für die Wirtschaft."
Ich habe immer schon gesagt ... heutige Aufgabe von Ökonomen:
"Um einfache Sachvehalte die man in wenigen Minuten versteht einen mysteriösen Nebel mit Fachjargon zu erzeugen, Dinge ins Gegenteil zu drehen, und die Leute mit geistigem Müll zu verwirren.
Venezuela 10 Jahre später:
Edit - Kommentar eines Einheimischen vor Orts unter dem verlinkten Video:
1)"In paper, socialism may be beautiful for some people. But in reality, it is a system destined to fail. I speak first hand as a Venezuelan, watching my country degrade for several years, thanks to corruption and the ease that the system provides for government theft...."
2)"Socialism always degrades". I completely agree with you. About 2 years ago, 600 Bolivars (Venezuela's national currency) was equal to 1 Dollar. Today it is north of 8000 Bolivars for a mere dollar, this is obviously calculated with the black market price since it is essentially the only market out there. Food shortages have exploded, gone parabolic. The last time I saw milk (or even sugar for the sake of the video) in a supermarket was probably months ago, and people were fighting over it to feed their children. The same has happened with most things, there has been looting of all sorts, food delivery trucks, car tires, bakeries, you can use your imagination (once a cattle truck had an accident, and people stole the cattle instead of helping the injured). This is just scratching the surface of Venezuela's problems and I could spend all day writing about it, but I think many people can get the idea. Most problems are a consequence of a terrible government system (you can call it whatever name pleases you, I usually use "21 century socialism") and people getting use to receiving things for free instead of working for them. In the end, free things are the most expensive."
