Bolívar vs. U.S. Dollars

New book: Bolívar vs. U.S. Dollars

Would adopting the U.S. dollar be good for Venezuela? This book examines, in plain language, the possible benefits and the risks of dollarization: what the law requires, what the facts show, and what would happen to wages, savings, banks, and everyday life. It does not defend either currency out of nostalgia, and it promises no easy fix.

Enough Already!

New book: Enough Already!

A direct conversation about the origins of A Country That Works: where we came from, what we learned, and why we decided to act. A short book about Venezuela, its institutions, and a simple way to weigh every proposal: is it legal, is it true, and does it improve people’s lives?

We live in a world that keeps getting more complicated.

Economics. Politics. Health. Energy. Technology. Geopolitics.

Subjects that can seem far removed from everyday life.

But they affect our lives, our opportunities, and our future.

At A Country That Works, we explain them in simple language.

We also present practical ideas and proposals.

But we do not make decisions for people.

Informed citizens

The free world depends on informed citizens.


People who can think for themselves.

Who question what they’re told.

Who compare ideas.

And who can freely decide their own future.

We believe in the power of knowledge.

We reject indoctrination, manipulation, and disinformation.

We don’t tell people what to think.

We give them better tools to decide for themselves.

Who we are

The country does not fit into two sides.


There is a third group, and it is huge: the people who work.

The ones who get up early, who produce, who know how to get things done.

We do not want power. We only want the country to work.

Infographics

Three visual pieces that condense data, proposals, and processes onto a single page.

The country is not a prize.

It belongs to its citizens.


Venezuela has extraordinary human, natural, and strategic resources.

But a country’s wealth only has real meaning when it improves the lives of its people.

Our purpose is to help people understand the problems.

Imagine what’s possible.

And discuss solutions that can work.
