- Summary
- "Ninety miles across the straits of Florida, a new Cuban revolution is stirring. This time, instead of guerrillas marching down the streets of Havana, it is the global economy that will upend Cuba. As the country's once solidly socialist economy opens further to the world, what new forms is it likely to take? Open for Business: Building the New Cuban Economy examines the island's still stagnant sectors and market-driven changes under way as the country takes its early steps toward a more dynamic growth model. Richard E. Feinberg, a longtime observer who has been at the forefront of advocating for the recent diplomatic opening between the United States and Cuba, examines key issues such as the vital role of foreign investors, how Cubans will forge a path to innovative entrepreneurship, and the alternative road maps inspired by other emerging economies. As Cuba's economy awakens from its post-Castro dream, it will do so with a flavor that is uniquely Cuban. Enriched by interviews and in-depth field research conducted over the past five years, this volume speaks both to Cuba's legacy and to its new horizons on the world stage." -- Publisher's description
