We Created Chávez
Since being elected president in 1998, Hugo Chávez has become the face of contemporary Venezuela and, more broadly, anticapitalist revolution.

Based on interviews with grassroots organizers, former guerrillas, members of neighborhood militias, and government officials, Ciccariello-Mah...
Venezuela, the Present as Struggle
Reveals the revolutionary power of the Chavista grassroots movement Venezuela has been the stuff of frontpage news extravaganzas, especially since the death of Hugo Chavez. With predictable bias, mainstream media focus on violent clashes between opposition and government, coup attempts, hyperinflation, U.S. sanctions, and massive immigration. What is less known, however, is the story of what the Venezuelan people – especially the Chavista masses – do and think in these times of social emergency. Denying us their stories comes at a high price to people everywhere, because the Chavista bases are the real motors of the Bolivarian revolution. This revolutionary grassroots movement still aspi...

Globalization and Governance
Despite the controversial nature of globalization, there is no doubt that the pace and intensity of global interactions has been multiplied exponentially over the last few decades. Criticism of globalization is generally arranged into three camps: political, economic and cultural. Political critics point to the status of the small state and conclude either that it is in retreat, or that the state has reconstituted itself to confront the challenges posed by globalization, thereby transforming itself into a "competition state." Economic critics hold that globalization is nothing new, that international transactions are in the logic of capitalism and that the trade along the silk route goes bac...

Summary of William Neuman's Things Are Never So Bad That They Can't Get Worse
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Before the crisis, there were three or four operators watching the computer screens in the central control room in Caracas that monitored the electrical grid for all of Venezuela. But on March 7, 2019, there was just one man watching the computer screens: Darwin Briceño. #2 The control room where the operators worked was a low-budget movie set. The six operators were the only ones left working there. The country depended on them, and they felt the weight of responsibility. #3 On March 7, 2019, power went out in Venezuela. It stayed out for five days. Millions of people went short of food and water. Banks and grocery stores couldn’t function. #4 When Darwin returned to the control room, he found it had been about three hours since the blackout hit. He and his colleague, Carlos Sánchez, drove around the city trying to find out what was going on.
