Private and Cooperative Enterprise in Cuba's Economic Future
Private and Cooperative Enterprise in Cuba's Economic Future Archibald R. M. Ritter (bio) the institutional structure of the cuban economy has undergone immense changes over the decades since the accession of the government of Fidel Castro in 1959. By 1970, Castro's government had expropriated virtually all private sector enterprises, and legal employment in the sector fell to about 30,000. With the 1989–93 economic meltdown sparked by the termin…
Two decades of re-aligning mundane entrepreneurship in Cuba
We examine how small entrepreneurs perceive their changing internal and external environments in Cuba, a country with a highly regulated yet emerging entrepreneurial class. We build on the concept of everyday exchange or mundane entrepreneurship, originally developed as a lens to understand non-state actions in the former USSR, and apply it to contemporary Cuba in the post-Soviet era. Our socially situated case of entrepreneurship in Cuba identif…
Overcoming Cuba's Internal Embargo
Relations with Washington are suddenly warmer—but if Cuba wants a vibrant economy, it must allow its people to engage in entrepreneurship and enjoy unrestricted access to the Internet
Entrepreneurial Cuba
Explores the evolution and impact of Cuba's recent dramatic reforms in its policies toward small private enterprises

Shifting Realities in Special Period Cuba
Revolutionary Cuba's golden age ended in [1988][1989][1990], when the former Soviet Union adopted world prices in its trade with Cuba, ceased new lending, and discontinued its subsidization of the Cuban economy. The result was the economic meltdown of 1989-1994. In 1992, President Fidel Castro labeled the new epoque the "Special Period in Time of Peace," a title that has, in 2010, lasted almost two decades. Many outside observers have imagined th…
Cuba
Since its "depenalization" in 1993, the U.S. dollar has become possibly a more significant component of Cuba's money supply than the old peso. What are the alternatives? The euro seems inappropriate, given the inevitability of eventual normalization of relations with the United States. More advantageous would be to restore the Cuban peso, though this would involve unifying the bifurcated economic structure and the dual monetary and exchange rate …
Entrepreneurship, Microenterprise, and Public Policy in Cuba
And thus it was with many things that I'm not going to repeat: commerce, market-determined prices in certain sectors, for certain activities; a proliferation of self-employment....And these are the opinions we have had about these things over the years, never imagining that we would have to learn to live with them for a period of time that is very difficult to predict, and that depends on many factors.Fidel Castro, 23 April 1997During the approxi…

The dual currency bifurcation of Cuba’s economy in the 1990s
In the 1990s, there has been a growing split in Cuba’s economy between the traditional socialist peso-based component and the internationalized dollar-oriented and marketized component. This schism has been caused by a conjuncture of circumstances, including the expansion of tourism and foreign and mixed enterprise; the contraction and loss of confidence in the socialist economy; the weakening of the monetary role of the peso (owing to the rapid …

The Cuban Economy in the 1990s
Cuba has entered the decade of the 1990s in a state of profound existential crisis. The countries of Eastern Europe, whose economic and political institutions and ideologies were adopted by Cuba, albeit with some modifications, were abandoning those same institutions and ideologies. Cuba's place in the international system had become one of growing isolation: Cuba had become a curiosity from the 1960s rather than the wave of the future, as it onc…
Stabilizing the International Copper Market
In this study, economic analysis and simulations on an econometric model of the international copper economy are employed to assess the viability and probable impacts of the two current front-running schemes for copper market stabilization, namely Pure Buffer Stock (PBS) Schemes and Hybrid Buffer Stock/Supply Management (HBS) Schemes. PBS schemes were found (i) to generate net revenue reductions for all producers and net exporting countries; (ii)…
