The Big Push of the 1960s

Chapter 15 in Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba, 1981, pp 110-116 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In addition to the basic role of agriculture and the stress given to reshaping work incentives, Cuba’s economic development strategy for the 1960s incorporated a third defining element, a very high rate of investment. The highly centralised planning system, whatever its other merits or shortcomings, would give the government far-reaching control over the nation’s economic surplus and would allow the direction of that surplus towards capital accumulation.
