Labour Motivation and Organisation

Chapter 20 in Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba, 1981, pp 144-148 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Running the sugar harvests of the late 1960s as national campaigns was in part a response to the continuing deficits in the plan. But the Cuban leaders also saw the campaign atmosphere as being a positive component in the process of creating moral incentives. By treating the economic struggle as comparable to a military struggle, the leadership hoped to create the kind of national élan, solidarity, and effort that usually is associated only with wartime.
