Comment is free: Plus ça change in Cuba

WHAT NOW FOR CUBA?
Since Fidel Castro was forced to undergo serious surgery and transferred all his powers to a group of senior ministers led by his brother Raúl in August 2006, Cuba has confounded those who predicted the collapse of the system without the supreme leader in charge. Now the agenda for the future must be to prove they can resolve some of the economic issues that the grand old man, now a semi-retired revolutionary who now longer appears in public, either could not or would not address.
