When VENEZUELA Was RICH: The Military Regime of Marcos Pérez Jiménez | 1950-1958

Описание: Venezuela is the poorest country in South America. But in the 1950s, it had the 4th highest GDP per capita on Earth, richer than most of Europe. This is the story of a forgotten era of wealth and transformation under the dictatorial regime of Marcos Pérez Jiménez. In this video, we will uncover the "New National Ideal", the state philosophy that built skyscrapers, highways and new industries at a novel pace. Most importantly, we examine how a technocratic military government transformed Venezuela from a rural backwater into a world leader in infrastructure, health, and economic growth in less than a decade.
