Description

Cuba is currently facing its most serious economic challenge in nearly thirty-five years of revolutionary rule. As the official, centrally planned economy falters, a massive shift is occurring within the nation. This book by Routledge examines the rise of the "second economy," where ordinary citizens engage in unrecorded and mostly illegal activities to make a living. This volume provides a detailed sketch of the complex phenomenon occurring in socialist Cuba. It tracks how these under-the-table activities have grown by leaps and bounds, moving from the shadows to a more prominent role in society. Readers will gain a better understanding of the evolution of these economic activities over time. Beyond just describing current events, the text discusses the potential role this growing second economy may play in Cuba's transition to a market economy. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the economic history, business trends, and social changes occurring within the Cuban landscape today.
