Description
Editor's Note: A long time analyst of Cuban affairs looks at the latest economic "reforms" in the island nation and finds that the measures come up short.--Ed. The Cuban government, which has experimented unsuccessfully with minor reforms since the early 1990s, has apparently decided that a deeper overhaul is required to repair the island's failed economy. In an address to the National Assembly in August, Raul Castro admitted: "We have to erase forever the notion that Cuba is the only country in the world in which people can live without working." He further admitted that the decades old US embargo--"a crippling, punitive measure"--could no longer be blamed for all the island's woes.
