  1. The richest of the rich were rich. The few who were laboring in the oil industry were doing the best out of Latin America wage wise from 1960 until 1980 when oil prices cratered rendering even those people into poverty. Records of poverty began then to be kept... because these oil workers tended to be the blanco (white) racial people who had some influence over politics. It was actually among the most impoverished with the worst literacy rates, child mortality rates, and households in poverty of all Latin American countries. Oil prices are again down. Couple this with new sanctions from the US and other nations you have a very depressed economy. If this were to happen to any nation, it would destroy their economy; let alone one that has most of its economic output in oil, and not just any oil, the heavy dirty crude that requires special setup at refineries to process the stuff means fewer buyers of that particular crude. There are reasons Chavez and Maduro were elected similar to why they're doing so poorly today. 1) crash in oil prices leaving even the racial authority in the dumpsters 2) Mass poverty among both the native and darker races (the native and darker tone people aren't a minority mind you rather they're the majority hence why even the poor performance of Maduro he still gets plurality of the votes, and why the aristocracy would like to install a dictatorship or at the very least a limited representative democracy as in the 1960's). 3) This time around: Attempts even during Chavez's reign, by the aristocracy to have him offed by coups and encouraging support by other OECD countries to assist with sanctions and embargoes etc. The aristocracy want their fiefdom back, US and such nations want their oil corporations to start making money there again both by harvesting the oil and also selling their services and oil rig machinery. https://www.indexmundi.com/facts/venezuela/mortality-rate https://knoema.com/atlas/Venezuela-Bolivarian-Republic-of/topics/Education/Literacy/Adult-literacy-rate https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SPDYNIMRTINVEN https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.NAHC?locations=VE
