The Death and Legacy of Hugo Chávez
Spencer Platt/Getty Images
Hugo Chavez in 2006.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez died Tuesday at the age of 58, after a battle with cancer. We'll discuss the controversial leader's career and look at what lies ahead for Venezuela, the fourth-largest oil supplier to the United States and, under Chávez, a U.S. adversary. We will also consider the likely successor to Chávez and discuss whether his socialist and revolutionary agendas will continue after his death.
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
- Francisco Toro, author of "Blogging the Revolution: Caracas Chronicles and the Hugo Chavez Chronicles" and blogger for CaracasChronicles.com
- Miguel Tinker Salas, professor of history and Latin American studies specializing in Venezuela at Pomona College
- Rory Carroll, South America correspondent for The Guardian
