America's Shadow in Latin America: Venezuela, Oil, and the Return of U.S. Imperial Power

Why is the U.S. involved in Venezuela and what does oil have to do with it? In this thoughtful conversation, Marianne Williamson interviews the Center for Economic Policy and Research's Alex Main about U.S. foreign policy, Venezuela's political crisis, economic sanctions, and the history of American intervention in the region. They discuss Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Maduro, U.S. oil interests, Cold War ideology, and the growing fear among Latin American nations of renewed U.S. imperialism. This conversation provides crucial context missing from mainstream media coverage. Center for Economic Policy and Research: CEPR.net
