Speaking on BBC World News America, Carnegie's Moisés Naím explained that throughout his fourteen years in power, Hugo Chavez gained incredible support and popularity for his focus on the poor in Venezuela. Though Naím agreed this social inclusion was beneficial, he argued that Venezuela's economy must become the topic in the front and center of the next election for Chavez's successor.
