Cuadernos El Manantial 1, 1992]). Naim seems guardedly optimistic, disparaging the sad experience of Southern Cone authoritarianism and arguing that working and active democracy is a powerful antidote to the numbness of a state captured by special interests. But he has given the reader enough material to be skeptical, and at this juncture there appears little consensus among the public, the parties, congress, or the president-elect on which direction to take the country next. Having been well briefed on its contours and inhabitants in this volume, we await further speculation by Naim on political and economic strategies that might promise an exit from Venezuela's labyrinth.
