The authors, a group of English and Chilean economists, place the revolution in the historical context, assess the changes that have occurred since the Castro government came to power in 1959, and attempt to foresee what lies in store for the island nation in the critical years ahead.Originally published in 1964.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
