The correct answer to this open question is the following.
What this policy reflects is "demand exceeds supply," and what it creates is that "it results in a shortage."
That was the case with Venezuela on January 22, 2008. Furthermore, the crisis accentuated because of some economic and political decisions made by President Chávez, that always supported socialism. These ideas confronted him with private companies in Venezuela and with other countries such as the United States that saw in Chávez a real threat to its economic interests in the region. Even today, with President Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela still has terrible economic crises and the US has decided to exert an economic embargo on Venezuela.
