The Bullet: Workers, Banking, and Crisis in Mexico

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:37:00 -0500

"When Ch�vez speaks, we listen. But we don't listen to those around him." This comment by a community activist interviewed by Iain Bruce, and integrated into his wonderful exploration of the Bolivarian Revolution from below, points to an essential characteristic--the unique link at present (por ahora) between Hugo Ch�vez and the exploited and excluded of Venezuela.
