El Fracaso de los moderados en Cuba: Las Alternativas Reformistas de 1957-1958 (review)
dark economic future, especially if one could somehow see past the next decade or two. The inevitable collapse of the exchange rate will make Cuban assets seem cheap, and its literate, educated labor force a bargain. Cuba is situated 90 miles off the coast of one of the largest markets in the world. The Cuban people are entrepreneurial, have relatives everywhere, and with a reasonable government at home, will have lots of friends in high places. This may not be a recipe for the recovery of the sugar industry, but it does not necessarily point to a rehabilitation of Batista and the Godfather either. How will Cubans celebrate the Revolution in 2059? Fidel proposes, but the market, alas, ultimately disposes. Anyone interested in the vital questions of contemporary Cuban political economy would benefit from this politic, but sophisticated and shrewd analysis.
