What is the link between Chavez's policies and Venezuela's current economic condition?

Maduro served both as a Foreign Affairs Minister and as a Vice President under Chavez. He is basically maintaining the government project of Chavez.

What's the link between yesterday and today?

Chavez was the previous ruler and hasn't been gone so long that the systems he set up have been washed away by time

The self exploding system just add water. Really neat innovator this Chavez guy!
