Author: Patricia Ruffin Publisher: Springer ISBN: 1349208051 Category : Political Science Languages : en Pages : 224
Book Description
Capitalism and Socialism in Cuba documents the history of the attempts by a small island nation to survive and gain respectability within an everchanging international political economy. Professor Ruffin presents a detailed account of the social, political, and economic forces affecting Cuba's prospects for development under both capitalism and socialism. Part one of the study focuses on Cuba's historical association with capitalism and the relationship that Cuba established with the United States. Part two of the study delineates the nature of Cuba-Soviet relations and deals exclusively with the question of socialist dependency. Professor Ruffin's study is a systematic analysis of the internal (race and class formations) and external (capitalism and socialism) factors that have thus far shaped Cuban history.

Book Description
Focusing on the experiences of the people who actually reside on the island, this book is an original analysis of the economic policies and trends in socialist Cuba. The analysis is based on first-hand data collected during Dr. Jatar's multiple trips to Cuba in the past four years, including a survey of more than 200 self-employed individuals as well as interviews with government officials, academics and average Cubans on the street. Jatar emphasizes the unique aspects of Cuba's current economy. The issues discussed in each chapter are complemented with vignettes depicting the daily problems of real people. This adds depth to the discussion by presenting the reader with dilemmas and complexities of a socialist country in transition towards a more open economy. The reader sees that it has not been easy for Cubans to find the right mix of social equality and political freedom. The book is a result of Dr. Jatar's personal journey in that she was born in Cuba and left the island when she was only two years old. She returned to Cuba in 1994 and found a deep need to understand Cuban society. She decided to write the book to share this personal quest with those who share the same curiosity about Cuba.

Book Description
The book argues that the Cuban Revolution warrants a closer look as a model of socialist human development. A re-reading of the Cuban Revolution from this angle engages unresolved issues in the theory of socialist humanism and the notion of human development popularized by the United Nations Development Programme (i.e., predicated on capitalism). UNDP economists and other agencies of international cooperation for development give a human face to a capitalist development process that is anything but humane. Socialism in Cuba has taken a very different form (socialist human development) than it did elsewhere in the twentieth century. The Cuban Revolution's unique characteristics enabled it to survive adverse conditions - a 'near-perfect storm' - that still threaten its evolution.
