Of course, the real problem is that they just ran out of other peoples' money:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/01/29/venezuela-is-on-the-brink-of-a-complete-collapse/"Venezuela's currency has, by black market rates, lost 93 percent of its value in the past two years." Gee, even the US was smart enough to devalue their currency by 98% over about a 100 year time-span. Slowly, slowly to boil the frog.
"That's left Venezuela's... breweries without enough hops to make beer". OK, now we're talking revolution. Take the beer away, there's gonna be a fight.
