5.0 out of 5 stars
President, Sugarcane Growers Association of Cuba. Miami, Florida, April 16, 2009
This review is from: Cuban Sugar in the Age of Mass Production: Technology and the Economics of the Sugar Central, 1899-1929 (Hardcover)
The first in reporting the economic factors. Wrong when making the connection with justificating the Cuban Revolution. The Cuban Sugar Industry paid one the highest agricutlural and industrial minimum wages among all nations, seventh, I have read. Mr. Dyue is right on economy, but when he makes the connection to socio-economic issues he knows very little, watch it. (There is no such thing as the "Cuban Revolution"; all there is is two bothers in charge of an island for 50 years). The real revolution was in the 1930's after the collapse of the Machado government and the "Sugar Coordiantion Law" of 1937. Read Mr. Dye in Political Institutions and Economic Growth in Latin America for a brief descritpion of facts.
