Comments Off on Greg — CALLING ALL STUDENTS AND ACTIVISTS IN SUPPORT OF VENEZUELA 'S BOLIVARIAN REVOLUTION!!!The Bolivarian Revolution should surely not be absolved from critique and disagreement. There are many outstanding questions remaining. But when the CATO institute invoking the name of Milton Friedman get involved, you know that the stakes for neoliberals are clear. This short post is not the forum for a conversation, but it sounds like an interesting call! -rg
