Inequality and Instability: Latin America in the 2010s (w/ Joshua Collins)

How have corruption, civil war, and drug cartels contributed to waves of migration? Why are far-right political movements on the rise in Latin America, similarly to other parts of the world? What is the reality behind Venezuela's ongoing collapse and refugee crisis? Why did a President of Peru hoard warehouses full of liquor?

 

Colombia-based journalist Joshua Collins joins us in Episode 5 to talk about all of this and more, including the time he was held captive by Venezuelan intelligence.
