Master's alum Miguel Angel Santos was interviewed on CNN's Global Portfolio where he shared his analysis of the economic crisis in Venezuela. From his post on LinkedIn:

"The collapse of Venezuela has a magnitude never before seen: it is the only country in the top ten of falls in GDP in five years in history (ninth, 45%), of falls in imports (third, 75%), and is also projected as one of the most intense hyperinflations in history, comparable only to Germany and Zimbabwe. There is no country on those three lists which has suffered collapses in imports, production, and hyperinflation at this level of intensity. It's unprecedented."

Miguel Angel is a graduate of both the BSE Master's Program in International Trade, Finance, and Development and the Master's Program in Economics. He is now Adjunct Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School, and Senior Research Fellow at the Center for International Development (CID) at Harvard University.
