America’s economy vs. Venezuela’s economy
In making your comparison, start with a brief survey of major economic indicators for the two nations. Then, discuss a few macroeconomics policies that each of the nations have pursued in recent years and what outcomes have resulted from them. Finally, suggest a few policy initiatives which Venezuela might undertake to improve its economic condition, and describe what outcomes would be expected if your policy suggestions were implemented. A few sources of information you might consider for Venezuela are the World Bank, the CIA Factbook, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Heritage Foundation; the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Census Bureau and Federal Reserve have all kinds of information on the US. The brief paper must be three or four pages of 12 to 14 point font typed. Put any graphs and tables you might like to include at the end of the paper and they do not count toward the page count
