Subsequently, all the countries’ economy started to revolve around petroleum, and some of them began to build a monopoly in oil becoming in world power nations. But not all the countries were benefited from that, for example, in the actually Venezuela is suffering one of the biggest economic recessions due to the dependency of petroleum in its economy.

As the new president of Venezuela, there were many challenges that he was going to face. But despite the lack of knowledge of the government or being a politician, he began pursuing this career always wearing a military uniform. “Invoking the memory of the Latin American Libertador Simon Bolivar, Chavez vowed to end corruption” ( Marcano 3) Many of his followers were from the working population who were able to identify themselves with the active military president.

    As the author Depersio demanded, “The price of oil is one of the most heavily watched trends in economics, as it has an effect on Venezuela” Consequently, because of the oil prices affects, Venezuela have been dramatically in the worst form of being a country going from one of the highest economies to a very low economy in the world. The low oil prices have been affected Venezuelans and many companies that have benefited from the oil and also the good economy. Oil has gone down for a high amount,Venezuela have to hit $111 a barrier, but they are only getting $33 a barrel the lowest rate in more than a decade. As a result of this effect in Venezuela economy, companies have also been in a lower financial shape because if the companies are benefiting from the oil and the oil made the economy really low, also the companies will be affected. Another consequence that had oil prices caused is that Venezuela have declined more that 350,000 barrels per day because domestic consumption and smuggling have been falling. One company that is affect is Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. is the Venezuelan state-owned oil and natural gas company. It has activities in exploration, production, refining and exporting oil, as well as exploration and production of natural gas (PDVSA). One example that tells us that this company is being affected is “PDVSA was in bad financial shape even before the oil price collapse, and since it began it has become worse”(Monaldi #3).

    These movements challenged the established oligarchial powers and aimed to bring together the interests of the working and middle classes. They were popular because they encouraged nationalism and the growth of industrialization, especially with import substitution industrialization. The Populist movements in Brazil and Argentina under Vargas and Peron are examples of the complete and lasting effects that the break with liberalism had. The changes brought on by these movements completely altered the role of the government, created a general expansion of political participation, shifted the way art and culture were perceived, and helped the massification of media, film, radio, and television (Cohen). The shift away from European economic, cultural, and political ideas was so complete, that even after these leaders passed out of power, the general changes and the shapes of the governments that they had created would last. The change was also very stark in Mexico with the nationalization of the oil industry under PEMEX. However, this break from European ideals was not so strong everywhere. For example, because Venezuela had a strong oil industry, it remained more stable and changed much slower under Gomez. Columbia had developed a stable power sharing scheme between conservatives and liberals who suppressed radical elements until Gaitan gained support and…

    The 1970s were perhaps the worst decade of most industrialized countries' economic performance since the Great Depression ,Although there was no severe economic depression as witnessed in the 1930s, economic growth rates were considerably lower than previous decades. As a result, the 1970s adversely distinguished itself from the prosperous postwar period between 1945 and 1973. The oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 added to the existing ailments and conjured high inflation throughout much of the world for the rest of the decade. U.S. manufacturing industries began to decline as a result, with the United States running its last trade surplus (as of 2009) in 1975. In contrast, Japan's economy continued to expand and prosper during the decade, boosted by growing exports.…
