Cuba's Present and Future
There was a nice short article about conditions in Cuba in the August 14 issue of BusinessWeek: "Cuba: Visit to an Island Frozen in Time". I have no idea what will happen in Cuba when Castro passes away, but the evidence provided here makes it clear that it won't be easy for the people of Cuba to improve their condition. The second to last paragraph in this article I think mistakenly praises the "social services" provided by the Castro regime, something a few of the commenters on the page (especially "Bianca" and "Amused") set right.

Objectivists must advocate an end to the US embargo on Cuba. Castro uses the embargo to claim that the failures of the Cuban economy are due to the embargo. Ending the embargo would show that the problems of the Cuban economy are due to Communism not the US embargo.
