HAVANA TIMES – I have read many thinkers who propose for Cuba to start making economic changes to overcome the crisis in which the country currently finds itself. However, they have mistaken the effect for the cause.
Jorge Luis Acanda Gonzalez, a Cuban philosopher and professor at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Havana until 2018, who currently teaches at the Central University of Ecuador, wrote in the book titled Translating Gramsci: “A cultural and moral change must precede a political and economic change.”

What does this mean? If we want economic development to begin in Cuba, all those premises of the Cuban government that have governed the lives of the people since the triumph of the revolution must be changed. Here are some examples to understand the idea I’m writing about.
