ABSTRACT

The Venezuelan crisis is for a part of Chavistas intellectuals an Economic War where a popular government clash with local and foreign monopolies who try to undermine it in favour of a neoliberal Project. In contrast, opposition ideologues argue that the Budget waste caused by the corrupt and populist government trying to eternize in power is the problem. In this paper, we de a critique to both positions based on the identification of the transformation of oil ground rent appropriation during Chavismo showing a growing weight of overvaluation over fiscal mechanisms in favour of most concentrated capitals. We explain why this show antagonist positions as conflictive ways that the unity of capital accumulation in Venezuela arises.
