  1. Regarding the impact of new US economic measures on the Cuban economy, it might be interesting to take into account the freezes, the raised tax, and large penalties imposed by the Cuban government in arbitrary fashion on small private Cuban business:

    Have you read about NEP or about similar previous attempts to develop a small private business in the Soviet Union and the same in Castro’s Cuba in late 90s and have you learned what happened to those first entrepreneurs? Their experience is currently has been repeated in Cuba. I would be happy to share some of their experiences with you (at least of those people whom I knew personally) if you are interested.
