Since assuming power in 2006, President Raul Castro has instituted scattered free-market reforms to alleviate the island’s deep fiscal woes while preserving the communist system ushered in by the 1959 revolution. The reforms to date have encouraged the growth of a small business sector that includes retail enterprises, stylish new restaurants and polished 1960 Cadillacs and other old cars serving as taxis.
