The Last Domino? Cuba and Its New Economy
October 14, 1998
Faced with a slumping economy, the Caribbean nation of Cuba has been forced to adopt reforms, opening up that country to foreign investment. Now, this socialist country is trying to balance operating in the global economy with still maintaining its revolutionary ideals. On this program, we’ll hear what Cubans in Havana are saying about their government’s new economic phase known as the "Special Period." We’ll also talk with an American activist about the U.S. government’s policy toward Cuba. And, she’ll tell us about Cuba’s projects for sustainability in agriculture.
Featuring:
Esther Perez, Martin Luther King Center, Ministry of Culture in Havana; Marta Munoz is a graduate student; Delvis Fernandez Levy, Cuban American Alliance and Education Fund; Pam Montenero, co-coordinator, Cuba Program at Global Exchange.
