Beneath Venezuelan soil lies an ocean of crude — the world’s largest reserves —an oil patch that shaped the nature of the global energy business.
Unfortunately, a dysfunctional anti-American government controls this vast resource and has used its wealth to foster voter support, ultimately wreaking economic havoc.
“Crude Nation” reveals how mismanagement has led to Venezuela’s economic ruin and turned the country into a cautionary tale for the world.
Raul Gallegos, a former Caracas-based oil correspondent, paints a picture both vivid and analytical of the country’s economic decline, the government’s foolhardy economic policies, and the wrecked lives of Venezuelans, according to a review on goodreads.com.
