Extract

Before Fidel Castro entered Habana, one heard very little about land reform as the number one problem of Cuba. In 1950, the World Bank in its prodigious 1051-page study of the Cuban economy gave only four pages to the problem of land distribution and land tenure, and among the hundreds of recommendations made in this report, those that referred to agrarian reform were very few, general, and cautious.
