« In 2004, the Chávez regime in Venezuela distributed the list of several million voters whom had attempted to remove him from office throughout the government bureaucracy, allegedly to identify and punish these voters. We match the list of petition signers distributed by the government to household survey respondents to measure the economic effects of being identified as a Chavez political opponent. We find that voters who were identified as Chavez opponents experienced a 5 percent drop in earnings and a 1.5 percentage point drop in employment rates after the voter list was released. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that the loss aggregate TFP [Total Factor Productivity] from the misallocation of workers across jobs was substantial, on the order of 3 percent of GDP. » |
Leon Trotsky a déjà dit : « In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: Who does not work does not eat, has been replaced by a new one: Who does not obey shall not eat. »

C’est assez incroyable tout ce que peut faire Chavez sans attirer la critique…
Chavez fait la leçon à Bush. Bush n’a jamais été aussi loin que lui.
Je redoute que Chavez fasse aussi un plus grand usage de l’armée, de la police et de ses milices armées au fur et à mesure que son pouvoir s’étendra et que des gens voudront s’y opposer.
C’est le réflexe de tout tyran se sentant menacer sur son trône face à des clameurs pour défendre la liberté des individus (du peuple).
Protester contre le bon pouvoir arbitraire et liberticide de l’État n’est que l’effet d’une mode, le temps qu’on la réprime.
