Labour Supply and Incentives in the Plan for the 1960s

Chapter 14 in Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba, 1981, pp 103-109 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The decision to place agriculture at the centre of the Cuban plan had involved relatively little controversy once the errors of the initial period had become apparent. On the other hand, considerable debate, both within Cuba and internationally, surrounded the questions of how the plan would be organised, how economic affairs would be coordinated, and how labour would be motivated. The debate received wide attention because of its focus on fundamental theoretical problems of socialist economic organisations such as: the role of the law of value in the transition to socialism; the relation between the transformation of productive forces and the transformation of social relations; and the question of incentives in a socialist society.
