He could have easily wrote the same piece about Venezuela and their leftist policy, but that would tread too close to his ideological home. Fact is parts of South America have systemic problems that transcends political dogma, Honduras is not impoverished due to libertarianism no more than Venezuela is due to communism, both are in the state they are in due to corruption which seems to transcend the government duJour of many South American states.
- anindyabd 12y ago1. Honduras is in North America. 2. Venezuela has been having troubles recently (it has been very slow to recover from the 2008 crisis) but it is not impoverished by any sense of the word. It has a human development index (HDI) of 0.764, ranking 67 in the world. It has a per capita GDP of $17000. In comparison, Honduras is 129th in the world in terms of HDI, and has a per capita GDP of around $5000. I'm not saying Venezuela is doing well (and its troubles are mostly due to corruption) but it's doing much better than Honduras.
