چکیده
This book consists of six substantive and relatively independent chapters addressing various aspects of Cuba’s economic system, the policies that have governed its functioning and potential changes in the near future. While the first chapter provides a historical overview of the policies followed by the Castro regime between 1960 and 2004, the last chapter focuses attention on possible future reforms. For the scholarly inclined, however, the most interesting parts of the book lie in three of the other four chapters.
