This article fails to mention what Venezuela is doing to counter the flow of U.S. subversion funds into the country.  Does Venezuela have any laws against its citizens receiving this money from the U.S.? Why haven't U.S. embassy personnel...

Just an idea to test in this forum.... Give each citizen a "share" of total government media subsidy. Citizen can direct the share to any designated media organization or divide it among more than one. Attempts to buy people's decisi...

I completely agree that our difference in analytical nuance are nothing compared to our agreement! I also really value and appreciate your perspectives, even where we disagree.  Perhaps especially then. I didn't say that there couldn...

GREG REPLIES There is, of course, in Venezuela a very strong movement for community media, which is legally supported (but not financed) by the Chavez government. They see this as the main means for democratizing the media. In short, they belie...

Hi Mr Weisbrot, you write: "Venezuela still has a long way to go before the state has as much a role in the economy as it does in, for instance, France." I would be very grateful if you gave a little more information to back this ...

Agreed on having to do something - and it should be exemplary - about the media.  Better fiscal policy is better, I agree - but I can't really judge that. Weisbrot is a good source, though. As to polls, well, I agree, and I don't ag...

especailly about the media.. Private domination of the media should not be used -only - as a talking point to refute outlandish claims that Chvistas dominate public debate in Venezuela. It should be pointed to as a major Chavista shortcomi...

Excellent points, particularly in highlighting the lack of a clearly enunciated vision.  I hope, looking as I do on Venezuela from a great distance, that the grassroots movements are helping to relate the vision of a more participative, human...
