The Big Push of the 1960s

In: Revolution and Economic Development in Cuba

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.
