The Impact of the Global Post-2007 Economic Crisis and Subsequent Lethargic Performance on Cuba’s Economy

Chapter 7 in Latin America after the Financial Crisis, 2016, pp 141-163 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The intent of this chapter is to consider the impact of the post-2007 global economic crisis and the world economy’s subsequent lethargic performance (the global economic crisis)1 on Cuba’s economy. Before indicating exactly which parts of that book-sized task will be specifically discussed in the restricted space available, it is necessary to highlight two considerations without which nothing about any aspect of Cuba’s current economic performance can be properly understood: its central economic (and social-political) goal, and its current engagement in a medium-term deep transformation of its economic institutions and practices.
