Venezuela’s grave economy: digging up the dead for gold

On Weird Geo Economy, we uncover the darkest corners of global finance — and Venezuela’s grave economy is one of the most disturbing.

In this episode, we expose how Venezuela’s economic collapse has become so severe, families are exhuming their own dead in search of gold teeth, jewelry, and metal caskets. Cemeteries have turned into black markets. Grave robbing isn’t a crime of desperation — it’s a survival strategy.

With hyperinflation making the local currency nearly worthless, and food, medicine, and basic goods out of reach, the dead have become assets. Caskets are recycled. Bones are sold for occult rituals. And mourning has turned into mining.

How does a country reach the point where tombs are more valuable than banks? We dig into the economic freefall, the societal breakdown, and the unthinkable choices people are forced to make just to live.
