No productivist model of socialism has ever existed in Cuba. Rather, the Cuban approach has drawn on a hybrid of ethical principles with some consistent strategic themes. Cuba's socialist strategy has been reformulated quite flexibly, in relation to these principles and historical circumstances, and this flexibility seems to have been important in allowing Cuban socialism to adapt and survive. More recently, Cuba has looked for a selective engagement with the global economy, advancing its strong service sectors while protecting key domestic services and domestic food production. The major in-principle change in recent years has been the licensing of the hiring of private labor. Changes to Cuba's microeconomy are also best understood through the lens of ethical socialism and adaptation. Special attention to Cuba's microeconomy is warranted because of the complex relation between wages, subsidized prices, and shared services. Nunca ha existido ningún modelo productivista del socialismo en Cuba. Por el contrario, el enfoque cubano se ha basado en un híbrido de principios éticos con algunos temas estratégicos consistentes. La estrategia socialista cubana ha sido reformulada de manera bastante flexible en relación a estos principios y circunstancias históricas, y esta flexibilidad parece haber ayudado en la adaptación y supervivencia del socialismo cubano. Más recientemente, Cuba ha buscado un compromiso selectivo con la economía mundial, avanzando sus sectores de servicio fuertes hacia adelante a la vez que protegiendo servicios domésticos clave y la producción nacional de alimentos. El principal cambio en los últimos años ha sido la licencia de contratación de mano de obra privada. Los cambios a la microeconomía cubana también se entienden mejor a través de un lente de socialismo ético y adaptación. El énfasis en la microeconomía de Cuba tiene sentido dada la compleja relación entre los salarios, los precios subsidiados y los servicios compartidos
