"The Collapse of Venezuela is the definitive account of the collapse of the Venezuelan economy. Rodriguez provides not only a page-turning play-by-play of the economic policy decisions that destroyed more than 70 percent of Venezuela's GDP but also a startling new theory of economically destructive political conflict." -Dorothy Kronick, University of California, Berkeley
