Yesterday, Hugo Chávez, President of Venezuela, die at 4:26pm. He was not an ordinary person. His influence around Latin American and challenges to the U.S. gave a new concept of a regional leader in Latin America. "Still, Dr. Antolinez called Mr. Chávez a historical figure with the stature of Simón Bolívar, the South American independence hero, or even Joan of Arc". However, this is the half of the story. Mr. Chávez was also a chameleon, taking on and shedding policies and programs as they suited him. Those are some of the examples:

1. He was a self-described Socialist who expropriated private businesses and property but looked the other way as opportunists enriched themselves off government contracts.
2. He preached about economic independence and created chains of subsidized grocery stores but neglected agriculture and relied heavily on imported food.
3. He excoriated capitalists and lectured about service to the country but tolerated or ignored widespread corruption.
4. He condemned the United States at every turn but depended on it to buy the oil that made his movement possible.

His death plunged Venezuela into political uncertainty not only in political aspects, but also in the economy area. I urge you to beyond the boundaries and analyze that case through this article. Which are  the implications of Chávez's death in Venezuela, Latin America, and the World?
