It is axiomatic that contemporary Cuban society has been altered by the recent changes in its economic structure. Economic reform is producing changes in the distribution of power that will eventually manifest themselves in political institutions. Less clear, however, is what the systemic results of this systematic process will be. One of the central ideas of this article is that the Cuban reforms are creating a social structure that could conceivably lead to the restoration of capitalism. It also points out, however, that a return of capitalism is not inevitable-that there are alternative paths to economic development that can preserve a socialist structure by empowering the population in that structure
