Venezuela's Oily Hyperinflation Story | Case Study - Learning IRL By ABGLP

Imagine this: you the common man or woman, is struggling to buy daily rations and 2 meals a day. Everything from soaps, to the internet seem out of your financial effort zone, because everything is expensive.

Your nation’s greatest natural resource, a matter of pride for many, the natural oil wells in your country, are used as a political tool by the president to gain public support and stay in office.
