Cuba's Aborted Reform: Socioeconomic Effects, International Comparisons, and Transition Policies

By Jorge F. Pérez-López and Carmelo Mesa-Lago

Book Overview

This volume analyzes Cuban socioeconomic policies and evaluates their performance since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist camp. It provides a brief historical background to the crisis and analyzes in detail the deterioration and incomplete recovery since 1990. Comparing Cuba's performance with that of other Latin American and former socialist countries, it summarizes the views of noted Cuban economists and proposes policies that architects of the Cuban transition might wish to put in place after the passing of Castro.
