Fight Inflation the Venezuelan Way: Haggle

Venezuelan Agriculture Minister Elias Jaua asked consumers to start bargaining over prices with retailers to try to curb inflation.

“The most important help that people can give us (in fighting inflation) is that they defend their income. We can’t get used to buying everything at any price,” Jaua told reporters . “If we all start haggling over prices, speculators are going to start feeling pressured,” Jaua said....
