Description

Venezuela's Hugo Chøvez was the first anti-neoliberal presidential candidate to win in the region. Electing Chøvez examines the circumstances that facilitated this pivotal election. Gates examines how Chøvez won over voters and even obtained the secret allegiance of a group of business "elite outliers," with a reinterpretation of the relationship between business and the state during Venezuela's era of two-party dominance.
