Review: "Important proposal to restructure Cuba’s economy into a more efficient system (by economist associated with Cuba’s Centro de Estudios sobre América (CEA)). Although the proposal contains some market-oriented mechanisms, it is framed within a socialist system and preserves a large role for the government. This modest proposal was too radical for the Cuban government. (Raúl Castro criticized the CEA as a ’fifth column’ working against the revolution in his March 1996 speech on revolutionary purity.) Cuban edition is out of print; a slightly updated version is available as Cuba, la restructuración de la economía; una propuesta para el debate (Caracas: Editorial Nueva Sociedad, 1997, 188 p.)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57. |u http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
