Cuba a laboratory for showing the incompetence of communist economics

NY Times:

As Cuba Opens Up, Inequality Grows More Visible

The American reconciliation with the country is expected to increase the pace of private development, as well as the gap between haves and have-nots.

Beyond its living antique car museum  Cuba's communism has created poverty on a mass scale that has nothing to do with a US embargo.  The confiscation of property has left the whole country poorer and taken enterprises from the competent and put them in the hands of incompetent state operatives.  As long as Cuba has a command economy it will be a failed country.
