It is just a pity it is only for Colombia.<br /><br />I see a lot of potential for such an encyclopaedia, with versions in all languages of the world.<br /><br />I can also see a lot of possibilities for cooperation between Colombia and Venezuela, two countries that are at the top when it comes to striving for new levels and types of corruption.<br /><br />:-)Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-2768686267137664662010-03-05T09:18:59.196-08:002010-03-05T09:18:59.196-08:00it is done in Clombia and developing as we speak:

It must be something like "A very brief history of Venezuelan corruption" :-)<br /> <br />I am curious about that publication, though.<br /><br />I proposed the Wiki- format because it is free, it is more accesible.<br />Of course, the problem would be the editing wars...still, I reckon that can be solved.<br /><br />I initially thought of some kind of Louvre of Venezuelan corruption: a real place where visitors from all over the world could go through very well documented exhibitions presenting corruption from early colonial times.<br /><br />As I am for descentralization, I already imagine the museum in a secondary city like Calabozo. It offers the advantage of more space for the building.<br />I imagine the buses full of Japanese tourists flocking to the building and admiring in absolute awe our incredible creativity when it comes to the craft of graft.<br /><br />I already see it all: permanent and temporary exhibitions, shops like at the British Museum or Louvre with cards and bags with paintings of the Boliburguesia, the statues of José Vicente Rangel's wife, a replica of Pérez's ship to Bolivia, objects from the haciendas Páez and Gómez and Monagas got through their threats and shenanigans.<br /><br />This could give jobs to hundreds of people currently getting some money only through Milicias Bolivarianas or the like.<br />Instead of playing soldiers for a few days a year, they would be producing bags and pens and paintings and working as tourist guides within the museum.<br /><br />Well, I can always dream. Perhaps we stick to the Virtual Museum firstly.Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631912103702174313.post-16549061278066747602010-03-03T03:11:58.510-08:002010-03-03T03:11:58.510-08:00A Dictionary of Venezuelan Corruption already exis...A Dictionary of Venezuelan Corruption already exists for the decades of 1960-1990's (three or four volumes by Ruth Capriles).The format is different than the one you suggest. It should be brought up to date. Ruth Capriles teaches at the Catholic University, Andres Bello, in Caracas.Gustavohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110831035822645767noreply@blogger.com
