In my point of view, the exchange control is a complicated issue, because in few words the government is controlling Venezuelans’ freedom. It is easy to see how the government with all its power tries to make Venezuelans do what suits them. Billions of dollars are being stolen by the government through this institution benefiting all the people that work for the government. On TV, magazines, and newspapers, we can see how the senior government positions dress the most expensive clothes, and…
to just back out and let them deal with it on their own. Venezuela is in at least more than$65 billion in debt included all the expenses with state oil and gas companies. If Russia keeps helping Venezuela, and it could reduce its dept. Before, when Hugo Chavez was president, they would have plenty of bonds and take more money to meet their obligations when it came down to debts, but that didn’t do anything. It put the country in a bigger financial situation later on. Venezuela is a socialism…

Not only is De la Vega unsure of his roles, he also feels a promise has been broken. He was led to believe his position would appreciate and nurture his vision of the future for security systems. Given the article, there is no clear indication if De la Vega is currently functioning as…
The legacy of the late president Hugo Chavez has left a lingering momentum within many impoverished regions of Venezuela. His compelling and inflammatory rhetoric derived from socialist theory, proved to move the masses during his nearly fifteen-year regime. In academic literature, the Chavez government has been alluded to using ‘populism’ to push their radical agenda. The term ‘populism’ can be defined as an economic strategy that promotes civil unrest, to compel ‘the people’ to rebel against…
Imagine a life where there was no form of government and you were free to do whatever you would like. The first word that comes to my mind is chaos. Freedom is easily abused and everyone would have the mindset of taking care of themselves before anyone. Can the human race survive that? In this paper I will discuss two philosophers, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, and their views on the state of nature. I will argue that John Locke’s view is not realistic, even though it’s ideally what I want for…

He pursues this foundation in hopes of being able to answer his larger question, when was the “moment at which right took the place of violence and nature became subject to law”. In other words, when does natural law give way to inequality. This paper will provide a comprehensive look at Rousseau’s attempt at answering that…
In 1962, the Supreme Court settled a dispute between the New York State Board of Regents and the New York Civil Liberties Union representing five families in New Hyde Park, New York. Several years before, the Board of Regents had written a prayer for the purpose of “supplementing the training of the home, ever intensifying in the child that love for God…which is the mark of true character, training, and a sure guarantee of a country’s welfare.” The recommended prayer read: Almighty God, we…
Roosevelt appointed a total of seven justices to the United States Supreme Court. Professor of Law at Harvard, and author, Noah Feldman, focuses on the background and evolution of four of FDR’s most influential justice appointees—Felix Frankfurter, Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, and Robert Jackson— throughout his book Scorpions. In the Supreme Court of FDR, and in our modern-day court, one often wonders how justices’ rulings are influenced. Throughout Scorpions, one may see FDR’s justices’…
