The Struggle for Political Power

Arthur MacEwan

Chapter 4 in Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba, 1981, pp 22-30 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The stagnation of Cuban agriculture, and of the Cuban economy generally, was an important factor giving rise to revolutionary move­ment within Cuban society. Without economic growth, there was no way the conflicting material demands of various social groups could be met. Moreover, in addition to stagnation, Cuba’s heavy dependence on sugar created considerable instability, both on an annual basis and over the longer run. And economic instability piled insecurity on top of the economic deprivation of the Cuban masses.
