With respect to Chavez, while I am a socialist, I would say I am more of a libertarian socialist and disagree with his methodology, but in general, I agree with the notion of a central bank being controlled by the people as long as there are rules in place preventing its politicization. The monetary system should be stable and designed to promote economic activity for the wel.being of all instead of a few.
