Sinking oil prices are changing the world, redistributing wealth and power. Alejandro Cegarra reveals the effects on oil-dependent Venezuela. 95 percent of the country's income from exports comes from the sale of oil. The lower price of the commodity has a direct impact: supermarkets are empty, the government is having a lot of difficulty keeping order, and the country risks bankruptcy in 2015.
