Central Bank Director Armando Leon gives a very simple explanation for how absurd (or is it stupid?) Chavez’ request to have the Central Bank give him US$ 1 billion from the country’s international reserves for agriculture is:
“The difference between Venezuela and a game of Monopoly is that currencies have backing, thus using the reserves would imply that the bills in circulation would be similar to the bills in Monopoly”
At last someone explains it simply!
