El Nuevo Herald has an article in Spanish, Los privados: los que más ganan en Cuba, about Cuba’s barely-emerging private sector. The article shows that private enterprise farmers and urban workers are out-earning people in the government’s payroll: In the private sector, farmers earned $28 and urban workers $41, compared to $18 for government wages.

Now ponder for a moment how that reflects on the island-prison, whose people are not allowed to leave.
