Inflation in a Socialist Wonderland

[brandyspaw]

Yes, its a link to that crappy liberal rag---The Washington Post. But this interesting article shows what its like to shop for goods in Venezuela with their inflation now running rampant. Their experiment in socialism isn't going well for them plus they're also suffering from all the recent drops in fuel prices. So its a perfect storm with socialism running off the rails combined with the country's loss in revenue from fuel prices.

Its a different set of circumstances than what we'd experience here in the USA.  However, it does give us a glimpse into what runaway inflation can bring to any country. So its gives you a window into what that sort of thing would be like for an everyday consumer.

No thanks.  I remember the late 1970's and that was bad enough.

I thought The Post was a crappy neocon rag.
