Interesting Article on Cuba Economy

Great article from INHT available here. Discusses both the fact that Cuba’s economy is was growing before the hurricane, and that the way the Cuban economy is measured may be circumspect. Good article to cut for both aff and neg!

Cuba’s measurement of GDP includes spending on free health care, education through college and monthly food rations provided by the communist system — an uncommon methodology that critics say inflates growth figures. Officially, the economy expanded by 7.5 percent last year and posted a 12.5 percent growth rate in 2006.
