Sometimes when I feel like taking a break from school work I check out a documentary posted on the CBC.  They often have a great selection of interesting videos to choose from.  A few weeks ago I decided to watch a CBC airing of a BBC production call “Last Chance to see Castro’s Cuba,” which focused on the dramatic economic changes sweeping the country.  The documentary shows that the strict communist economic system is on the outs and is making room for concessions where capitalism is concerned.  We have spent several GRS classes discussing the merits of the Cuban agricultural system, especially how the farming profession is popular and respected. It seems to me that farming is such a popular profession because it was at one point the only job where Cubans could earn and save a surplus.  Now that this is changing with the allowance of other entrepreneurial businesses I think that it is likely that Cubans will migrate out of the agricultural sector into other sectors such as real estate or retailing.  I would definitely recommend watching the documentary to get a better idea of the changes Cuba is currently undergoing.
