The Cuban Revolution has aroused passion and controversy for 40 years; this bookexplains the Revolution's extraordinary survival, as well as how and why it seems likely to continue in the new century. The book explores such issues as the impact of the Soviet Union's collapse on Cuba, the country's social malaise under economic scarcity, and the reorganization of its economy. Azicri argues that Cuba's ongoing reform process has allowed it to avoid the fate of other Soviet bloc regimes.
"A masterful and provocative summary, analysis, and evaluation of political, economic, and cultural developments in Cuba, as well as the international relations of Cuba, in the tumultuous decade following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the process, Azicri gives a unique insight into how and why Cuban socialism, though greatly modified in the 1990s, continues to survive."—Sinan Koont, Dickinson College

Cuba Today and Tomorrow: Reinventing Socialism
A well-written if underwhelming tour of the lives of America's gilded class. The book is dated for having been published over a decade ago and indeed right before the calamitous 2008 financial crisis. Frank doesn't engage the question of whether it is ethical or spiritually healthy for anyone to accumulate hundreds of millions of dollars in personal wealth or to own multiple colors of the same Rolls Royce Phantom. What he does illustrate though is just how many people like this there are (a lot) and the degree to which money itself feels like an illusory concept. Perhaps before 2008 it was still plausible to feel like there was anything remotely wholesome about this kind of accumulation, but I would volunteer that far fewer people would receive this book well today. The analysis is very journalistic, lots of scenes and quotes, but also light on big picture contextualizing. For that reason I would say its analytic value today is limited, although it is an easy read.
