Abstract

The new types of nonstate enterprises, private and cooperative firms, that are beginning to take root in Cuba are part of the reform process that is taking place in that nation and redefining its socialist path. There are different positions in Cuba with regard to the adequacy of nonstate enterprises for the advance of Cuban socialism. Some consider them simply a necessary evil, while others consider them essential for the functioning of any economy. A third position is that nonstate enterprises and enterprises in general are most useful to the goals of socialism to the extent that they are democratically managed and responsive to social interests. The current process in Cuba is an opportunity to perfect Cuban socialism and bring it closer to its humanist and emancipatory goals.
