Venezuela: A Post-mortem Analysis

I found an excellent article by Dr. Anne Bradley regarding Venezuela and their fall into abject poverty.

There is one line in particular that strikes with as both true and with great fear:
Bad economics, poor policy decisions, and terrible institutions will trump the engines of human creativity and entrepreneurship every time.

No truer statement has ever been said, and this statement is as true today in America as it was in Ancient Rome.  Civilizations grow and thrive on the productivity of the people within them.

Be productive!  God calls us to good stewardship.
