About this listen

 At The Indicator, we’ve been following the conditions in Venezuela over the years. In 2024 we covered how Venezuela’s economy went into freefall, and have been checking in with an economist there frequently — including after the U.S. attacked over the weekend, deposing its leader Nicolás Maduro.

On today’s show, we’re revisiting our episode about Venezuela’s economy, and hear from our contact in Caracas.
