A Novel Perspective on Cuba’s ‘Reforms’
نویسنده
چکیده
* The main ideas in this paper were initially presented at the XXIV Meetings of ASCE and I benefitted from observations by R. Castañeda and J. Sanguinetty on the presentation. Subsequently, Jorge PérezLópez made extensive editorial comments on the first written version. J.L. Betancourt, R. Morán, and C. Quijano also provided very useful comments on the first written version. This second one incorporates those comments as well as additional modifications of my own. Remaining errors and omissions are my responsibility.

متن کاملHIV/AIDS in Cuba: lessons and challenges.
Tim Anderson1 Cuba, a relatively poor, socialist, developing country has the lowest rate of HIV infection in the Caribbean subregion and a rate among the lowest in the world.
